Response of soybean to microbial inoculation and sulphur on nutrient uptake, quality and economics

Field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm of Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during kharif 2015 to assess the response of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] to microbial inoculation and sulphur. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications and consisted treatments viz., microbial inoculation (Control, Rhizobium, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, Rhizobium+phosphate solubilizing bacteria) and four levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg S/ha). The results revealed that microbial inoculation and sulphur significantly increased the nutrient content and uptake in N, P and K and quality viz., oil content and yield, protein content and yield over control.
