| dc.description.abstract | The field experiment was conducted during Kharif’ season 2019 at Norman E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar to study the effect of spacing for varieties SL 958 and PS 1092 of soybean, under ridge and furrow planting, on soybean yield and yield attributes, N, P, K, S uptake, protein yield, oil yield and economics of production. Soybean was sown on 28 June 2019 and harvested on 4 November 2019. The soil of the experimental field was Silty clay loam having high organic carbon (1.18%), low in available nitrogen (230 kg/ ha), medium in available phosphorus (22.5 kg/ha) and low in potassium (132 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications to evaluate eight Treatments formed by the combination of 2 main plot treatments and 3 sub plot treatments. Main plot treatments were varieties – PS 1092 and SL 958. Sub plot treatments were plant to plant spacing, 5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm. All the eight treatments were sown in ridge and furrow planting system. The result obtained during the course of investigation revealed that variety SL 958 is taller than PS 1092 and produced higher dry matter content. Variety PS 1092 had a greater number of branches, recorded higher net returns and higher B:C ratio than SL 958. Plant to plant spacing of 5 cm had tallest plants while 20 cm spacing had the maximum dry matter accumulation. Rainfall Use Efficiency was maximum for 10 cm spacing. CGR and RGR were not influenced by variety and spacing at any stage of crop growth. Highest yield (grain yield, straw yield and total yield) was recorded for 10 cm plant to plant spacing. 10 cm spacing proved out to be the most economic treatment above all other spacing with maximum Net Returns, Gross Returns and B:C Ratio. In Analysis of plant after the harvest of crop, 10 cm spacing was recorded for highest nutrient content (%) and uptake (Kg/ha) in seed and stover. Highest quality parameters viz. oil content, oil yield, protein content and protein yield were recorded for samples of plant sown at 10 cm spacing. Thus, for realizing higher productivity, better quality and most economic returns, narrow plant to plant spacing of 10 cm spacing under ridge and furrow planting system may be considered for variety SL 958 and PS 1092 in Tarai conditions of Uttarakhand. | en_US |
