EFFECT OF IRRIGATION AND FERTILITY LEVELS ON SUMMER SOYBEAN

A field experiment entitled “Effect of irrigation and fertility levels on growth yield and quality of summer soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]” was carried out during summer season of 2021 at the Instructional Farm Department of Agronomy College of Agriculture Junagadh Agricultural University Junagadh. Results indicated that irrigation scheduling at 1.0 IW/CPE ratio recorded significantly higher values of plant height (30 60 DAS and at harvest) number of branches per plant and dry matter production. Similarly irrigation scheduling at 1.0 IW/CPE ratio recorded significantly higher value of yield attributes yield and quality components viz. number of pods per plant seed yield (1764 kg/ha) stover yield (2274 kg/ha) and oil yield followed by 0.8 IW/CPE ratio. Irrigation at 1.0 IW/CPE ratio to increase the soil moisture content before irrigation and least water use efficiency over other.
