Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Integrated Research Farm, Department of Organic Agriculture and Natural Farming, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur during Kharif 2022, to evaluate the effect of organic sources of nutrients on growth of soybean. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design comprising of eight treatments [Beejamrit (200 ml/kg seed) + Jeevamrit (175 l/ha), Beejamrit (200 ml/kg seed) + Ghanjeevamrit (500 kg/ha), Beejamrit (200 ml/kg of seed) + Jeevamrit (175 l/ha)+ Ghanjeevamrit (500 kg/ha), Farm yard manure (10 t/ha), Farm yard manure (10 t/ha) + Ghanjeevamrit (500 kg/ha), Biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB) + Farm Yard Manure (10 t/ha) + Vermiwash (225 l/ha), Biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB) + Vermicompost (5 t/ha) + Vermiwash (225 l/ha) and Absolute control] replicated thrice. The results revealed that biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB) + Vermicompost (5 t/ha) + vermiwash (225 l/ha) recorded the tallest plants and the highest primary and secondary branches which was statistically similar to biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB) + farm yard manure (10 t/ha) + vermiwash (225 l/ha). Biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB) + vermicompost (5 t/ha) + vermiwash (225 l/ha) being statistically at par with biofertilizers (Rhizobium + PSB) + farm yard manure (10 t/ha) + vermiwash (225 l/ha) and farm yard manure (10 t/ha) + Ghanjeevamrit (500 kg/ha) resulted in higher dry matter accumulation, absolute growth rate and nodules per plant.
