Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2014 2015 in the Agricultural Research Station, Adilabad, Telangana to assess the effect of straw mulch and anti – transpirants on growth and yield of soybean. The treatment consisted of A) Antitranspirants (5) (spray at 15 days after flower initiation): T1 MgCO3 @ 5% T2 Glycerol @ 5% T3 KNO3 @ 1% T4 NaCO3 @ 5% T5 Control (water spray) B). Straw mulch @ 5 t/ ha after sowing C) Control (no mulch). Among the different anti transpirants, Na2CO3 @ 5% recorded higher mean seed yield (2862 kg/ ha) which was at par with Glycerol @ 5% (2762 kg/ ha) and MgCO3 @ 5% (2731 kg/ ha). Mulch (straw mulch @ 5 t/ ha) was significantly superior over control (without mulch) with highest mean seed yield (2723 kg/ ha). The combination of straw mulch and anti – transpirant can be recommended as an effective with respect to yield and cost for the soybean under rainfed condition.
期刊介绍:
Legume Research An International Journal. The Journal is an official publication of Agricultural Research Communication Centre. It is designed to bring out the original research articles on genetics, breeding, physiology, bacterial avtivity, production, quality, biochemistry and seeds of legumes crops. The objective of the journal is to serve as a forum for scientific community to publish their research findings on legumes ans to provide basis for new research. Journal is being scanned in the important indexing and abstracting services.
