Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2020 at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Yagantipalli (Village), Kurnool (District) (A.P.). The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.48%), available N (171 kg/ha), available P (13.60 kg/ha), and available K (215.4 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments and replicated thrice. The results revealed that the steady increase in growth attributes of Soybean viz., plant height (69.88 cm), plant dry weight (23.67 g) was observed significantly highest with sowing date July 1^st fortnight and spacing with 30 x 10 cm, highest leaf area index (5.09) maximum highest number of pods per plant (30.73), number of seeds/pod (2.97), seed index (8.58 g), highest shelling percent (78.27%), grain yield (2.43 t/ha) and haulm yield (3.96 t/ha) as compared to other treatments.
