Abstract:
A field experiment on “Effect of planting methods and nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of kharif soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill)” was conducted during kharif season, 2020 at Post Graduate Research Farm, Agronomy Section, College of Agriculture, Dhule (Maharashtra). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four replications. Among the planting methods treatment, number of pods plant^-1, weight of seed plant^-1,100 seed weight, seed yield (kg ha^-1), straw yield (kg ha^-1), gross monetary returns and net monetary returns was observed higher with the broad bed furrow (BBF) planting method. Among the nutrient management treatments, application of 100 per cent RDF (50:75:45 N:P₂O₅:K₂O kgha^-1) was observed higher number of pods plant^-1, weight of seed plant^-1,100 seed weight, seed yield (kg ha^-1), straw yield (kg ha^-1), gross monetary returns and net monetary returns. However, B:C ratio were maximum under (2.46) Broad bed furrow planting method and (2.86) 100 per cent RDF (50:75:45 N:P₂O₅:K₂O kg ha^-1) as compared to others.
