ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out on “Effect of liquid biofertilizers (Bradyrhizobium and PSB) on growth characters of soybean”. It was conducted in Kharif season during the year 2013-14 at the research farm of Oil Seed Research Station, Latur, Maharashtra, in factorial randomized block design with three replications and variety MAUS-81 as a test crop along with 16 treatment combination containing four levels of liquid Bradyrhizobium (0ml, 5ml, 10ml, and 15ml) and four levels of liquid PSB (0ml, 5ml, 10ml, and 15ml).The results of field experiment indicated that the growth parameters viz. plant height, number of functional leaves, root length, and dry matter yield were significantly increased due to dual inoculation with 10ml of Bradyrhizobium japonicum kg-1 seed + 10 ml of PSB kg-1 seed (A2B2) treatment over rest of the treatments but they were at par with (A3B3). Number of branches of soybean was significantly increased with individual seed inoculation of 10ml Bradyrhizobium japonicum kg-1 seed (A2) as well as 10 ml of PSB kg-1 seed (B2) over rest of the treatments but they were at par with A3 (15ml Bradyrhizobium japonicum kg-1 seed) and B3 (15 ml of PSB kg-1 seed), respectively.
