Abstract

An experiment was carried out at ʻHʼ Block, Main Agricultural Research Station, Seed Quality Testing Laboratory, Seed Unit, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, to study the influence of fungicides and bio agents on yield and quality parameters of soybean var. DSb 21. Among the treatments, seed treatment with Bacillus subtilis @ 10g/kg of seed recorded the higher plant height (23.67, 54.27 and 57.64 cm), number of branches per plant (3.33, 4.73 and 5.93) and number of leaves per plant (32.47, 61.13 and 96.33) at 30, 60 and 90 DAS and higher number of pods per plant (94.93), seed yield per plot (3.75 kg) and seed yield per hectare (2168 kg) over other treatments under the study. Higher seed germination (96.33%), seedling vigour index (3766) and lower seed infection (3.67%) was recorded in seed treatment with Carboxin + Thiram @ 3g/kg of seed.
