A field experiment was carried out during rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur to study the soil properties and microbial population after harvesting of cauliflower (Brassica oleraccea L. var. Botrytis) cv. Pusa Snowball K-1 as influenced by organic manures and liquid formulations. The 18 treatment combinations, comprising three types of organic manures and six types of liquid formulations, were evaluated on cauliflower crop with three replications under split plot design. In the organic manure treatment M₃ (FYM 1/3^rd + PROM 1/3^rd + NC 1/3^rd equivalent to 100% RDN) and in liquid formulation L₁ treatment (panchagavya @ 3% spray) were reported significantly higher in soil organic carbon (0.72%), available nitrogen (244.4 kg/ha), available phosphorus (21.2 kg/ha), maximum soil bacteria (66.2 x 10⁶ cfu/g), fungi (27.3 x 10⁴ cfu/g) and actinomycetes (35.7 x 10⁴ cfu/g).
