Abstract

The present experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2019 and 2020 at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal to study the performance of various soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties under different levels of integrated nutrient management. A three-time repeated factorial randomized block design (F-RBD) was used for the experiment having 3 varieties (Factor 1), viz. PS-1225; YEZIN-15; and PS-24 and 5 nutrient management treatments (Factor 2), viz. 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF); 75% RDF+3 t/ha farmyard manure (FYM); 75% RDF+1.5 t/ha vermicompost; 75% RDF+3 t/ha FYM+25 kg/ha ZnSO₄; and 75% RDF+1.5 t/ha vermicompost+25 kg/ha ZnSO4. Findings explored that 75% RDF+1.5 t/ha vermicompost+25 kg/ha ZnSO₄ supply in PS-24 variety ensured highest seed yield (2601 kg/ha), stover yield (5241 kg/ha) and harvest index (33.17%) owing from high nutrient uptakes. Further, production economics stated that PS-24 cultivated with 75% RDF+1.5 t/ ha vermicompost+25 kg/ha ZnSO₄ supply registered maximum net return (₹42994/ha) and benefit cost (B:C) ratio (2.32) indicating its suitability in eastern Indian condition.
