A Study on the Effect of Organic Manures and Chemical Fertilizers on the Yield of Soybean (Glycine max L.).

Abstract

The field trial was conducted to investigate the effect of organic and inorganic Fertilizers on the yield of leguminous crop viz., soybean. The experiment was carried out in a Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) and field trials were carried out in triplicates. The variety Mahabeej was used for trial. The fertilizers treatments comprised of five types viz.,Urea, 18-18, 12-32-16, FYM, poultry manures, Compost manures and control crop was not provided any fertilizer treatment. The results show that poultry manures and nitrogen fertilizers increased the number of seeds per pod as compared to the control. Urea fertilizers show significant colour of plant. There was no significant difference among fertilizers treatments on pods weight per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100 seeds weight, and seeds production.
