Abstract:
In order to investigate the effects of planting methods, inorganic fertilizers and FYM levels on yield and quality parameters in soybean, an experiment was conducted during 2020 and 2021 on medium black soil of Instructional farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Narayangaon to find out the response of planting methods, nutrient management and FYM levels on Soybean. Sowing on ridges and furrow recorded significantly the highest seed yield (2122.36 kg/ha), stover yield (5330.87kh/ha) and biological yield (7453.23 kg/ha). There were 12.68% higher seed yield over flat bed. Similarly ridges and furrow recorded significantly the highest protein content (19.54%) and oil content (19.45%) over the flat bed sowing. Among the different levels of fertilizers, 100% RDF out rightly dominated and established its significant performance in respect of Seed, stover and biological yield. Application of 100% RDF produced significantly the seed (2098.31 kg/ha) and stover yield (5317.33 kg/ha), protein content (37.12%) and oil content (19.45%). The result further revealed that seed yield as well as stover yield, protein content, and oil content were significantly increased by application of FYM @ 7.5 t/ha with rhizobium and PSB. Significantly the highest seed (2155.29 kg/ha) Stover (5473.76 kg/ha), Biological yield (7629.05 kg/ha) and protein content (37.20%), oil content (19.47%) was recorded with the application FYM @ 7.5 t/ha with rhizobium and PSB. This was 15.28% higher seed yield over control.
