Influence of tillage and residue-management practices and organic nutrition on performance of soybean (Glycine max) under conservation agriculture in semiarid ecology of India

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2020 and 2021 at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to evaluate impact different tillage residue-management practices (TRMPs) organic nutrition on performance soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The laid out in a split-plot design with 3 replications. treatment comprised 4 TRMPs main plots 5 nutrient management subplot. result showed that, application zero residue (ZT + R) resulted significantly higher number branches/plant (9.65), pods/plant (69.2), seeds/pod (2.68), grain yield (1.63 t/ha) gross return (` 87,480/ha) being statistically par conventional (CT superior other treatments. Significantly enhanced attributes i.e. (9.12), (69.8), (2.71) (1.6 were observed under recommended dose fertilizer (RDF) through inorganic fertilizers followed by nitrogen vermicompost (VC) biofertilizer cow urine (10%) Panchgavya (5%) Jeevamrut (500 litres/ha), farmyard manure (FYM) (10% foliar vegetative, panicle emergence flowering stage) (5% litres/ha 30, 60 90 days after sowing (DAS). However, maximum returns realized N5 87,280/ha) N4. Hence, combined ZT R along package N4 are better options for improving productivity crop conservation agriculture (CA) semiarid ecology India similar agro-eco regions.
