Introduction

Soybean being a high protein and energy crop and its productivity is often limited by the low availability of essential nutrients or imbalanced nutrition farming is one of the important constraints to soybean productivity in India. Hence a balanced nutrients application is must to harness the potential productivity of the crop. Integrated nutrient management (INM) involves the use of manures, bio-fertilizers and chemical fertilizers to achieve sustained crop production and maintain better soil health. INM is best approach for better utilization of resources and to produce crop with less expenditure. Considering these points in view, the present study was initiated to know the “Response of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] to lime based integrated nutrient management and mulching on nodulation, nutrient contents and yield in clay loam soil.

Materials and Methods

The present experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisted of 6 treatments viz. (T1)-Absolute control,(T2 )-Farmer practice (50kg DAP/ha),(T3) RDF+ ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ Ammonium Molybdate 1.0g/kg seed+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /hac,(T4)-RDF+ ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /hac +Rhizobium+PSB (@Each 5g/kg seed) +Ammonium Molybdate 1.0g/kg seed,(T5)-50%RDF+ ZnSO4@25 kg/ha +FYM  2.5 t/ha+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /hac + Rhizobium+PSB (@Each 5g/kg seed) + Ammonium Molybdate 1.0g/kg seed + Mulching and(T6)-50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ slacked lime@25 Kg Ca(OH) 2 + Vermicompost 1.5t/ha + Rhizobium + *PSB (@Each 5g/kg seed) + Ammonium Molybdate1.0g/kg seed + Mulching. Variety JS 95-60 was used under experimentation which was conducted in clay loam soil during kharif seasons of  2010, 2011 and 2012 at ZARS Khargone (m.p.) .

Results and Conclusion

The effect of lime based  integrated nutrient management and mulching on nodulation, its dry weight, nutrient contents in straw  & seed at maturity and grain yield(kg/ha) were found to increase significantly and beneficial due to the application of 50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /hac + V.C. 1.5t/ha + B.F.+ A.M. + Mulching(T6) followed by treatment  T4 and T5  ( Table 1) over other treatments. The enhancement in different parameters may be attributed due  to the increase in the availability of nutrients with  the application of inorganic fertilizer together with continuous supply of macro and micro nutrients from vermicompost which helped in acceleration of CEC of the soil and various metabolic processes viz., photosynthesis, energy transfer reaction and symbiotic biological N–fixation process. These results are also in close agreement with the findings of Singh and Kumar (2012), and Konthoujam et al. (2013).
