Effect of Land Configuration, Seed Rates and Variety on Growth and Yield of Soybean in Central India

The present experiment was conducted under ongoing ‘All India Coordinated Research Project’ (AICRP) for Dry land Agriculture at College of Agriculture, Indore to study the effect configuration, seed rates and variety on growth yield soybean in Central India. carried out with 03 main plot treatments (03 configurations i.e. L1- Flat sowing-45 cm, L2- Raised bed 90 cm 3 Rows bed-1 L3- 60 2 bed-1) 04 sub (02 varieties V1-RVS 2001- 4 V2-JS335; 02 S1-60kg ha-1 (75% Normal rate) S2 40kg ha-1(50 %of rate)). various observations related plant parameters viz., height, number branches per plant, leaf area, nodules dry weight, pods seeds pod, grain weight yield, straw harvest index were recorded. obtained data analyzed by method variance null hypothesis tested ‘F’ test. Further, critical difference worked judge between two treatment means. results revealed that showed significant soybean.
