Abstract:Background: A special mention should be made of soybeans because they are the most valuable pulse and oilseed crop in the world and can help the nation overcome its crisis in the production of edible oil. An extremely significant source of plant nutrition is organic nutrient sources. They give plants both macro and micronutrients. Utilizing organic resources helps to maintain and sustain soil fertility, boost crop yield, and improve the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the soil in an environment that is ecologically compatible, socially acceptable, and economically feasible. To investigate how nutrient management affects soybean growth, yield, and quality, a field experiment was conducted.
Method: During the Kharif season of 2021, a field experiment was done on loamy sand soil at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The experiment consisted of three replications with ten treatments using a randomised complete block designwhich included different organic sources viz., FYM, Vermicompost, Jeevamrit, vermi-wash and Bio NP consortium in different combinations with different compositions.
Result: Among all the different treatments application of 25% N through FYM + 50% N through Vermicompost + Jeevamrit (500 l/ha Foliar spray at 30 and 45 DAS) gave significantly higher results on growth attributes viz., plant height, plant dry matter accumulation, root dry biomass and yield attributes viz., number of pods/plant, seed index. same treatment was also recorded significantly higher seed yield, haulm yield as well as Nitrogen content in seed, haulm and protein content in seed.
