Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted in summer season of 2022-23 at crop research centre Shri Guru Ram Rai University, School of Agricultural Sciences, Dehradun, Uttarakhand to evaluate the “Effect of organic and bio fertilizer on growth and yield of soyabean in Doon Valley of Uttarakhand”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and 12 treatments. The treatments comprised following levels of different organic and bio fertilizer viz. T₁ control, T₂ control + FYM (10 kg/hc) 6kg, T₃ control + FYM (20kg/hc) 12 kg, T₄ control + FYM (30kg/hc) 18 kg, T₅ rhizobium + control, T₆ rhizobium + FYM (10kg/hc), 6kg T₇ rhizobium + FYM (20kg/hc) 12kg T₈ rhizobium + FYM (30 kg/hc) 18 kg, T₉ VAM + Control, T₁₀ VAM+FYM (10kg/hc) 6kg, T₁₁ VAM + FYM (20kg/hc) 12 kg, T₁₂ VAM + FYM (30 kg/hc) 18 kg soyabean (pant soya 26) was done in 25 June 2022. Kg/hc). The growth parameter like plant height (92.52cm), no. of branches/plant (16.767), dry weight of root nodules (28.167 mg) were recorded highest with application of T₁₂ VAM + FYM (30 kg/hc) 18 kg followed by VAM+ FYM (20kg/hc) 12 kg. The yield parameters viz, Straw yield (38.997 kg/ha), Seed yield (27.689 kg/ha) were also recorded highest with VAM inoculation and FYM application which was at par with FYM @18 kg/per hectare.
