Response of Soybean Cultivars to Graded Level of Fertilizers

A field experiment to evaluate the response of soybean hybrids to fertilizer levels was conducted at Farm of Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Latur (M.S.) under rainfed condition, during Kharif season of 2008-09. The experiment comprised of six soybean cultivar in main plots and 3 levels of fertilizers in sub plots of split plot design was replicated thrice. The results of experiment revealed that the hybrid MAUS-71 recorded significantly maximum growth attributes, yield and consequently resulted in highest monitory gain over rest of the cultivars, while MAUS-81 variety found to be at par on it in respect of seed yield and gross returns. Application of 30:60:30 kg NPK/ha recorded significantly higher growth, yield attributes and economics compared to other levels of fertilizers.
