Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with soybean (var. JS-335) on clayey soil at experimental farm of Dr. PDKV, Akola to compare response of organic sources. Soil fertility after harvest of soybean, nutrient uptake and yield of soybean were found statistically significant under different organic treatments over control. Application of 100% RDN through vermicompost+jeevamrut was found beneficial. Beneficial effect of organic sources was in the order of vermicompost > FYM > compost > crop residues.
