ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out on nutrient content and uptake of soybean as influenced by liquid biofertilizers (Bradyrhizobium and PSB). It was conducted in kharif season during the year 2013-14 at the research farm of Oilseed Research Station, Latur, Maharashtra, in factorial randomized block design with three replications and variety MAUS-81 as a test crop along with 16 treatment combination containing four levels of liquid Bradyrhizobium (0ml, 5ml, 10ml, and 15ml) and four levels of liquid PSB (0ml, 5ml, 10ml, and 15ml). Nitrogen content in plant was significantly increased by seed inoculation with liquid 10ml of Bradyrhizobium (A2) at maturity 7.93% and at harvest 3.62% over control. Phosphorus content was significantly improved (at maturity 28.57% and at harvest 31.25%) by seed inoculation with liquid 10ml of PSB (B2) over control. Nutrients uptake viz. N, P, K and S were significantly increased due to seed inoculation with 10ml of Bradyrhizobium (A2). However in later stages N uptake in soybean was increased significantly due to seed inoculation with 10ml of PSB (B2).
Key words :
Bradyrhizobium, Growth stages, Liquid bio-fertilizers, Nutrient content and uptake, PSB, Soybean.
