ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences (UAHS), Navile, Shivamogga to know the effect of different sources of phosphatic fertilizers on soybean growth and yield during kharif 2014–15. The experiment comprised of eleven treatments consisting of combination of different phosphatic fertilizers. The plant height (15.50, 30.06 and 34.14 cm respectively), number of trifoliate leaves per plant (6.07, 23.61 and18.37 respectively), numbers of branches per plant (5.43, 10.42 and 10.32 respectively), number of pods per plant (50.67), number of seeds per pod (3.03) and test weight (13.15 g) was significantly high in the treatment T7 receiving 50 per cent of P2O5 through SSP + 50 per cent of P2O5 through Nutriphos + PSF at 30, 60 days after sowing and at harvest. Significantly higher seed yield and Stover yield (23.76 q ha-1 and 31.37 q ha-1) was observed in the treatment T7 compared to other treatments. Therefore, it was concluded that by supplying 50 per cent of P2O5 through SSP + 50 per cent of P2O5 through Nutriphos + PSF helps in improvement in growth and yield of soybean.
Key words: Soybean, Phosphatic Fertilizer, Nutriphos, geowth and yelled.
