Field experiments were conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Jhabua (RVSKVV, Gwalior) during kharif 2013, 2014 and 2015 to study the effect of organic, inorganic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and nutrient uptake by soybean. Results revealed that application of 50% RDF (10:30:20 kg NPK/ha) + 50% vermicompost (2.5 t/ha) recorded significantly higher growth characters viz., plant height (55.88 cm), number of branches (4.72), dry matter production (19.21 g/plant), no. of nodules (19.21/plant) and dry weight of nodules (65.43 mg/plant). Similarly, the maximum pods/plant (72.40), seeds/pod (3.25) and test weight (137.63 g) were also recorded with the application of 50% RDF + 50% vermicompost. The highest seed yield (2262 and 2143 kg/ha) and straw yield (2386 and 2330 kg/ha) was produced under 50% RDF + 50% vermicompost and 100% RDF (20:60:40 kg NPK/ha), respectively. The same treatment also recorded higher N, P and K uptake (190.21, 23.45 and 121.06 kg/ha, respectively) followed by 100% RDF. Therefore, for higher production and productivity of soybean should be fertilized with 50% RDF + 50% vermicompost under rainfed condition of Jhabua Hills.
