ABSTRACT
Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of phosphorus and sulphur levels on yield, fractions of P and S and NRA activity of soil after harvest of soybean at Research Farm, Department of Soil Science and Agril. Chemistry, MKV, Parbhani (MS). The treatment consisted of four levels P (P0, P30, P60 and P90 kg P2O5 ha-1) and four levels of S (S0, S20, S40 and S60 kg ha-1) applied through DAP and elemental sulphur. Result indicated that grain and straw yield, Leghaemoglobin content from root nodules at 30 DAS and Nitrate reductage activity of soil after harvest of soybean increased with increase in rate of application of P and S. The applied S and P increased the P and S fractions over control. Applied various levels of P and S also influenced the quality parameters of soybean i.e. protein content, oil content and test weight of soybean.
Key words :
Grain & straw yield, NRA of soil, Phosphorus, Quality parameters, Sulphur, Soybean.
