Abstract

The optimal seed rate is important in contributing to high yield because, in the case of dense plant populations, most plants remain sterile and are more susceptible to disease attack than in normal plant populations. Planting geometry allows for the more efficient use of light, water, land, and other inputs. Phosphorus is more important than other nutrients in increasing soybean yield. Phosphorus is a crucial element and shown to be necessary for the development, growth, and productivity of soybean. To boost the production of oil seed crops, the optimal dose of phosphorus is required. This paper focuses on the role of phosphorus in improving oil seed, crop production indirectly and directly role of phosphorus is to improving the soybean productivity.

• Optimum planting technique and seed rate influence the growth and productivity of the soybean crop by saving considerable amount of irrigation water and ensuring better resource utilization ability.

• For better production of soybean with a particular reference to nodule formation, it is mandatory to focus on the application of P-ic fertilizers.
