Abstract:
The present research entitled “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of Soybean (Glycine max L.)” was carried out during kharif season 2019 at Instructional Farm, BTC College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bilaspur (C.G.). The result revealed that maximum values of growth parameters i.e. plant height (cm), number of trifoliate leaves plant^-1, number of branches plant^-1, number of nodules plant^-1 and yield attributes viz., number of pods plant^-1, seed yield(g plant^-1), test weight (g), seed yield (q ha^-1), stover yield (q ha^-1) and harvest index (%) was observed significantly superior with the application of 75% RDF + 5 t Vermicompost ha^-1 enriched with Consortia (T₉) also found at par with the application of 75% RDF + 5 t FYM ha^-1 enriched with Consortia (T₇). Treatment Control (T₁) showed inferior values for all the parameters mentioned above. The parameters like plant population (m^-2) and No. of seeds pod^-1 indicated non-significant differences in response to various nutrient management practices.
