Abstract Field experiment was conducted to study the impact of effective microorganism (EM) inoculated agricultural organic wastes on maize (Zea mays). The experiment was conducted in randomized block design and replicated thrice with ten treatments viz., T1- Control,T2- Recommended dose of fertilizer,T3- Recommended dose of fertilizer with 12.5t ha-1of EM inoculated pressmud compost, T4- Recommended dose of fertilizer with 11.5 t ha-1of EM inoculated pressmud compost, T5- Recommended dose of fertilizer with 10.5 t ha-1of EM inoculated pressmud compost, T6 – Recommended dose of fertilizer with 12.5 t ha-1of pressmud compost, T7 – Recommended dose of fertilizer with 12.5 t ha-1of EM inoculated FYM, T8- Recommended dose of fertilizer with 11.5t ha-1of EM inoculated FYM, T9- Recommended dose of fertilizer with 10.5 t ha-1of EM inoculated FYM, T10- Recommended dose of fertilizer with 12.5 t ha-1of FYM. The maize grain & stover yield and soil microbial population was significantly influenced by recommended dose of fertilizer with 12.5 t ha-1of EM inoculated pressmud compost(T3). The least grain and stover yields was recorded in control treatment(T1). In general, it can be concluded that application of recommended dose of fertilizer with 12.5 t ha-1of EM inoculated pressmud compost to maize crop can be recommended for the farmers for achieving higher growth, yield and soil microbial population. EM inoculation is very use full method to make the availability of organic input for agriculture after the natural calamity periods
