Integrated micro-nutrient management for sustainable production of soybean(Glycine max)

A field study was conducted for 3 consecutive years (1995-98) to determine the effect of: different micro-nutrients with and without farmyard manure o n yield and yield attributes of soybean [Glycine maw (L.) Merr.]. The resul ts showed that the application of farmyard manure @ 10 tonnes/ha alone is s ufficent to compensate the requirements of different micro-nutrients (Zn, B , and Mo) rather than going for individual applications of micro-nutrients or along with farmyard manure. The treatment was adjudged stable and sustai nale for production of soybean. The application of micro-nutrients with far myard manure were relatively gave more stable yield performance than the tr eatment without farmyard maure.
