Integrated effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on vegetable soybean production (Glycine max)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bengaluru to study the influence of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of vegetable soybean. Application of 125% RDF (75% N through fertilizer + 25% through compost) + Triple microbial inoculations recorded significantly higher vegetable pod yield (95.30 q ha-1), haulm yield (294.80 q ha-1). The same treatment also recorded higher N, P and K uptake (178.54, 29.84 and 143.75 kg ha-1, respectively) followed by 100% RDF (75% N through fertilizer + 25% through compost) + Triple microbial inoculations.
