A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of bio-fertilizers on nodulation, yield, nutrient uptake and biological properties of soil by soybean. The study revealed that 100% RDF with dual inoculation (Rhizobium+PSB) resulted in the highest grain (1363 kg ha-1) and straw yields (1798 kg ha-1). Bio-fertilizers increased nodule number, fresh as will as dry weight of nodule plant-1 and also improved the soil fertility by increasing organic carbon content and effective bacterial population in soil. The yield and nutrient (N, P and K) uptake also increased due to dual inoculation in presence as well as absence of chemical fertilizers.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of bio-fertilizers on nodulation, yield, nutrient uptake and biological properties of soil by soybean. The study revealed that 100% RDF with dual inoculation (Rhizobium+PSB) resulted in the highest grain (1363 kg ha-1) and straw yields (1798 kg ha-1). Bio-fertilizers increased nodule number, fresh as will as dry weight of nodule plant-1 and also improved the soil fertility by increasing organic carbon content and effective bacterial population in soil. The yield and nutrient (N, P and K) uptake also increased due to dual inoculation in presence as well as absence of chemical fertilizers.
