Effect of ridge and furrow system in soybean cultivation and feasibility of economics

Abstract

Optimum plant population is pre requisite obtain higher seed production and productivity of soybean. In this study soybean variety RSC 1046 was recorded significant higher plant population, Plant height, number of branches plant-1 dry matter accumulation plant-1, Leaf area index plant-1 and seed yield. Crop geometry was recorded significant maximum plant population and plant height in 45×5, number of branches plant-1 and dry matter accumulation plant-1 in 45×10 leaf area index plant-1 in 45×5 and seed yield in 45×10. Interaction effect in seed yield was recorded between variety and crop geometry (cm). RSC 1046 and 45×10 show significant higher seed yield. Relationship between plant population and seed yield (kg ha-1) was linear with performance maximum in variety RSC 1046 and crop geometry (cm) 45×10. That results shows optimum plant population due to variety and crop geometry produce higher pre harvest parameters and yield soybean planted in ridge and furrow system. Economic as a basic effect on farmer economy due to cost of cultivation, gross return, net return and net return per rupee investment. This research was recorded varieties cost of cultivation is same but crop geometry this are changed. Higher cost of cultivation in crop geometry 45×5 and lowest in 45×30. There was gross return, net return and net return per rupee investment higher in variety RSC 1046 and lowest in CG Soya 1. Crop geometry was recorded highest gross return, net return and net return per rupee investment in 45×10 and lowest in 45×30. Economics feasibilities are important to farmer economic condition due to adopt farming system.
