The Comparative Study on the Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on the Growth of Leguminous Crop (Soybean).
Abstract
The field trial was conducted to investigate the effect of organic and inorganic Fertilizers on the growth of leguminous crop viz., soybean. The experiment was carried out in a Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) and field trials were carried out in triplicates. The variety Mahabeej was used for trial. The fertilizers treatments comprised of five types viz.,Urea, 18-18, 12-32-16, FYM, poultry manures, Compost manures and control crop was not provided any fertilizer treatment. The result showed that poultry manures+18-18 and FYM +18-18 fertilizers had significant effect on stem diameter, number of branches, plant height and number of leaves at 30, 60, and 90 days after sowing. FYM+18-18 fertilizers had significant effect on plant weight in comparison with untreated crop.
