Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Seed Yield and Quality of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) Under Mid Hill Conditions of Himachal Pradesh
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2018 at Experimental Form of Department of Seed Science and Technology, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on seed yield and quality in soybean (Glycine max L). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design comprising of ten treatments with T1 (FYM @ 10t/ha + 75% RDF), T2 (FYM @ 10t/ha + 100% RDF), T3 (Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + 75% RDF), T4 (Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + 100% 3 4 RDF), T5 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + 75% RDF), T6 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + 100% RDF), T7 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 75% RDF), T8 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 100% RDF), T9 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor), T10 (FYM @ 10t/ha + Vermicompost 5t/ha + Azotobactor). Significantly high 100 seed weight was recorded in 10 treatment T4 (Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + 100% RDF) which remained at pare with treatment T8 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 100% RDF) and T7 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 75% RDF). Higher seedling length was recorded in treatment T7 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 75% RDF) which remained at par with treatment T6 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + 100% RDF) and treatment T4 (Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + 100% RDF). Significantly higher vigor index was recorded in treatment T7 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 75% RDF) which remained at par with treatment T4 (Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + 100% RDF) and treatment T8 (FYM @ 5t/ha + Vermicompost 2.5t/ha + Azotobactor + 100% RDF).
