Effect of phosphorus rate and Pseudomonas species in combination with Bradyrhizobium japonicum and farmyard manure on seed yield and yield attributesof soybean (Glycine max)

A field experiment was conducted during 2000 and 2001 at Pantnagar, to study the effect of phosphorus rates and Pseudomonas sp in combination with Bradyrhizobium and farmyard manure @ 1 tonne/ha on seed yield and yield attributes of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.). The yield attributes, ie seeds/plant, pod length, pod number and pod dry weight, differed significantly due to different treatments. Seed yield also increased (22.2-34.18%) significantly owing to variation in treatments.
