Abstract:
A pot experiment was carried out at SKUAST-Kashmir, Srinagar during two consecutive
Kharif seasons to study the “Farm Yard Manure and Dalweed improve the Growth and Yield in Soybean (
Glycine max (L.) Merill)”. The experiment was laid out with 18 treatment combinations viz., three levels of each of recommended doses of inorganic fertilizers (50, 75 and 100% RD) and organic manures (control, FYM 10 t ha
-1 and Dalweed 10 t ha
-1) and two levels of biofertilizers (control and dual inoculation with
Rhizobium + PSB) in Randomised Complete Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that grain and straw yield increased significantly with increase in the recommended inorganic levels. Application of FYM @ 10 t ha
-1 showed significantly superior results over other organic treatments. Dual inoculation with Rhizobium and PSB showed significantly superior results over no inoculation. Yield attributing characters viz. 100-seed weight and number of nodules showed significant increase with increasing levels of recommended inorganic fertilizers. Application of 75% recommended inorganic fertilizer level showed highest 100-seed weight over other levels. Among organics, FYM (10 t ha
-1) was found superior over Dalweed (10 t ha
-1) for yield attributes. Oil and lysine content was found superior with application of 75% recommended inorganic fertilizers over other levels, Protien content increased with increasing levels of recommended inorganic fertilizers. Among organics FYM (10 t ha
-1) yielded significantly superior results for seed quality than dalweed (10 t ha
-1).
