The present experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisted of 6 treatments. Taking the JS 95-60 as test variety in clay loam soil.  Analysis of soil and plant samples was done as per standard methods.The present experiment was laid out in the field No.52 at Research Farm of R. A. K. College of Agriculture, Sehore (M.P.) during Kharif season, 2013 & 2014 The experimental site having fairly uniform topography with normal fertility status.

The effect of integrated nutrient management and mulching on plant height was noticed non significant. However , branches per plant, Root length/ plant (cm), Dry weight/ plant (g), Pods/plant(no), Seed index(g), and Grain yield(kg/ha) were found to increase significantly due to the application of 50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ V.C. 1.5t/ha + B.F.+ A.M. + Mulching(T6) followed by treatment  T4 and T( Table 3) over other treatments. The such  increase in soybean growth  and yield was attributed to the increase in availability of nutrients with application of inorganic fertilizer.
