Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2013 in Vertisol at Instructional farm of Indira Gandhi Agricultural University; Raipur (C.G) to study the Effect of different levels of Sulphur and FYM on yield and soil nutrient status of Soybean. The objectives of the study were to estimate the nutritional requirement, efficiency of fertilizer, soil test and organic source (FYM), to estimate the fertilizer requirement of Soybean crop based on soil test levels using INM approach. Soybean crop required 0.35 kg S to produce one quintal of grain. Fertilizer and Soil test efficiencies estimated were 14.75 and 27.48 percent, respectively for sulphur. The FYM contribution for S nutrient were estimated as 2.93.
