PERFORMANCE OF SOYABEAN (Glycine max L. Merrill) GENOTYPES UNDER VARYING PLANT DENSITIES
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
The aim of present study was to find out optimum plant population for obtain higher grain yield of soybean genotypes. An experiments studied the effect of four plant population (0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 million plants/ha.) on the growth and yield of three soybean genotypes (RKS-39, JS-9305 and JS-335). Treatments were replicated three times in split plot design. The plant densities level 0.40 million plants/ha produced significantly higher grain yield (2263 kg/ha) than 0.6 million (2097 kg/ha). The difference between 0.3 and 0.6 million density levels was non significant. The genotypes JS-335 produced significantly higher grain yield (2250 kg/ha) than genotypes RKS-39 (2002 kg/ha) but was at par with genotypes JS-9305 (2149 kg/ha). Plant population of 0.4 million plants/ha and genotypes JS-335 were found optimum for soybean productivity under Sehore agro-climatic condition of Madhya Pradesh.
