Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) during kharif season of 2007–08 to study the response to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer under different methods of planting. Bed planted soybean with or without mulch recorded higher growth and yield attributes, seed and straw yield as compared to conventional and zero tillage planting method. There was no significant affect of fertility levels on growth and yield attributes and seed yield of soybean.
