Effect of different resource conservation practices on soil chemical properties under soybean cultivation

Abstract

The present investigation was conducted at Research Farm of Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The field experiment consisting of nine treatments with three replications in the Randomized Block Design. The treatments comprised of T1 (100% RDF), T2 (Dhaincha 25% N +Compensation of RDF), T3 (Cotton Stalk 25% N +Compensation of RDF), T4 (Wheat Straw 25% N +Compensation of RDF), T5 (Bio mulch 25% N + Compensation of RDF), T6 (Neemcake 25% N + Compensation of RDF), T7 (100% N-FYM +Compensation of P-Phosphocompost), T8 (50% N-FYM +Compensation of P-Phosphocompost +Urea), T9 (50% N - leuceana loppings +Compensation of P – Phosphocompost +Urea). The results of the present study indicated that, application of 100% N - FYM + Compensation of P- Phosphocompost was significantly superior over all the other treatments.
