Abstract

Integration of fertilizer with organic manure (FYM) significantly increased yields and N uptake by soybean and wheat. Maximum grain yields of soybean and wheat were recorded with treatment 100% recommended dose of NPK+ 15 t FYM over rest of the treatments and control. Highest N fixation by soybean was recorded with 100% recommended dose of NPK+ 15 t FYM. The highest uptake of nitrogen was observed in the treatment 100% recommended dose of NPK+ 15 t FYMby soybean and wheat.
