Abstract: The effect of different herbicides viz., atrazine, pendimethalin, 2,4-D, topramezone and tembotrione on soil physio-chemical properties, microbial population and carry over effect on succeeding crop was assessed at AICRP on Weed Management Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif seasons of the year 2016. Bacterial, fungal, actinobacterial and PSM populations as well as various soil properties were analyzed. Among physio-chemical properties of the soil, electrical conductivity and available phosphorus in soil were significantly affected due to various herbicidal treatments. Total bacterial, fungal and PSM population decreased initially up to 30 DAS and thereafter, it showed non-significant effect with increase in their number except bacterial population at 60 DAS. In case of total bacteria, significant differences were recorded up to 60 DAS. Actinobacterial population was unaffected due to herbicidal treatment at every interval. Carryover effect of different herbicide applied in preceding maize crop showed non-significant influenced on all the recorded characters of succeeding wheat.
