Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted to know the Growth and dry matter as influenced beneficial microorganisms on Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) under field conditions in farmer field at Gouribidanurduring kharif 2012. The experiment was laid out randomized completely block design with twelve treatments and three replication. The results of this treatment having application of 100 % NPK + Bradyrhizobium + Aspergillusniger + VAM (T₁₁) recorded highest growth parameter like branches at 30, 60 days after sowing and at harvest (4.84, 7.79 and 9.76 cm respectively), leaf area at 30, 60 days after sowing and at harvest (537.41, 999.57 and 1211.94 cm²respectively), Leaf area duration at 30, 60 days after sowing and at harvest (26.99, 73.13 and 30.60 days respectively)  and total dry matter at 30, 60 days after sowing and at harvest (3.36, 27.23 and 32.73 g plant^-1 respectively)compare to treatment having control.  The finding of this study was combined application of biofertlizersgives higher growth parameter and total dry matter of soybean under field condition.
