Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Nutrient Content and Their Uptake by Soybean Crop (Glycine max L.) | This Article is Published in the Journal of Scientific Research and Reports

Aim: To study the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on nutrient content and uptake by soybean crop (Glycine max L.).

Study Design: Randomized block design.

Place and Duration of Study: One-year field experiment at Research Farm, School of Agriculture, Abhilashi University, Chail Chowk, Mandi, (H.P.), during kharif of 2023.

Methodology: The experiment was conducted with three replications and nine treatments viz. T1= Absolute control, T2= 100% RDF, T3= 100% RDF + Rhizobium, T= 75% RDF + 25% N by FYM, T5= 75% RDF + 25% N by Vermicompost, T6= 50% RDF + 50% N by FYM, T7= 50% RDF + 50% N by Vermicompost, T8= 50% RDF + Rhizobium + 25% N by FYM + 25% N by Vermicompost and T9= 100% RDF + Rhizobium + 25% N by FYM + 25% N by Vermicompost.

Results: The study of the data revealed that there is a non-significant effect of integrated nutrient management practices on the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in grains and straw of soybean crop, whereas, the application of treatment T9 noted the highest content of these nutrients in grains and straw of the soybean crop. Treatment T9 also recorded the significantly maximum uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by grains, straw and total uptake by soybean crop, which was statistically at par with treatments T3 and T2. However, the minimum content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in grains and straw along with their uptake by grains, straw and total uptake by soybean crop were found under the treatment T1 during the field experiment.

Conclusion: This study showed that the different integrated nutrient management practices do not affect the content of nutrients in soybean crop significantly, however, it has significantly affected the uptake of nutrients by soybean crop.

Recent Global Research Developments on Nutrient Management for Soybean Crops

Sensor-based Precision Nutrient and Irrigation Management: A study published in Frontiers in Plant Science highlights the benefits of using sensor-based precision tools for nutrient and irrigation management. This approach enhances the physiological performance, water productivity, and yield of soybean crops. The study found significant improvements in photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, and intercellular CO2 concentration [1].

Integrated Nutrient Management (INM): Research published in Frontiers in Plant Science discusses the importance of integrated nutrient management for sustainable crop production and food security. This approach combines organic and inorganic fertilizers to improve soil health and crop yield, particularly under changing climatic conditions [2].

Advanced Fertilizer Management: An article in MDPI Agronomy covers various advanced fertilization strategies for crops, including soybeans. The research emphasizes the need for rational crop nutrient management to optimize yield and sustainability. It includes studies on different fertilization techniques and their impact on crop productivity [3].

Nutrient Management Practices: A comprehensive review in the International Journal of Agronomy explores various nutrient management practices for soybean crops. The study discusses the effects of different nutrient applications on soybean growth, yield, and soil health [4]
