Abstract
An agronomic investigation entitled effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.) was conducted at experimental farm of Khalsa College, Amritsar during kharif season of 2019. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and twelve treatments. The experimental soil was alkaline (pH 8.18), having low salt content (EC) (0.30 dS m-1). As regards, available nitrogen (220.74 kg ha-1), phosphorus (16.87 kg ha-1) and potassium (293.64 kg ha-1) were low, medium and medium, respectively. The result revealed that the values of plant height (118.21 cm), dry matter (36.31 g/plant), leaf area index (2.42) and yield attribute number pods per plant (72.98) were recorded highest with the 100% RDF for soybean. However, number of seeds per pod was recorded as non-significant among the different treatments. This treatment also gave significantly higher values of seed yield (18.36 q/ha), stover yield (30.72 q/ha), net return (Rs 67391/ha) and B:C ratio 2.49 than the rest of the treatments. The lowest growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of soybean were recorded in control.
