Effect of Rhizobium japonicum and phosphorus on nutrient uptake and yield of soybean (Glycine max) in an Ultisol of Manipur hills
Year: 1997
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted during 1994 and 1995 to study the effect of Rhizobium inoculation and pbosphorus feltilization on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production in an acid hill U1tisol ofManipur. Rhizobium inoculation increased the soil- Rhizobium population and nitrogen fixation. It increased the grain yield and nodule weight by 3543%. It also sbowed an additive residual effect in 1995 by increasing the yield by 15%. P fertilization increased the nodule weight, grain yield, N and P uptake and nitrogen content of the soil significantly. Rhizobium and phosphorus interaction was also significant for grain yield, and Nand P uptake only in 1995, whereas nodule weight increased significantly during both the years. Phosphorus- use efficiency was maximum with 13 kg PIba level along with inocu lation, but total grain yield (2 340 kglha) and net. return (Rs 16 704) were maximum with 26 kg Plha level along with inoculation.
