Effect of different organic formulations on yield and quality of soybean

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2017 to Study the effect of organic formulations on growth, yield and soil nutrient dynamics in soybean at experimental farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani. The experiment was laid out with twelve treatments replicated three times in randomized block design. The treatment consisted of T1- RDF (100% NPK through fertilizer), T2- Panchagavya only, T3 -Jeevamruth only, T4-Beejamruth only, T5-Panchgavya + Beejamruth, T6- Beejamruth + Jeevamruth, T7 - Panchgavya + Jeevamruth, T8 -RDF + Beejamruth + Panchgavya, T9 - RDF + Beejamruth + Jeevamruth, T10 - RDF+ Beejamruth + Jeevamruth+ Panchgavya, T11 - Beejamruth + Jeevamruth+ Panchgavya and T12 - 100% N through FYM. The growth and yield attribute like plant height, leaf area, number of nodules per plant, seed yield and straw yield were significantly improved by application of RDF+ Beejamruth + Jeevamruth+ Panchgavya. The test weight and seed protein content increased by application of RDF+ Beejamruth + Jeevamruth+ Panchgavya.
