Effect of lime-pelleting on nodulation and yield of soybean grown in acid soil
Abstract:
An experiment for studying the effect of lime-pelleting of inoculated seed of soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] on nodulation, growth, and grain yield was undertaken in red sandy loam of Bangalore, having a pH of 4.0. The results indicated that inoculation alone increased significantly nodulation, plant dry weight, and grain yield. But inoculation plus lime-pelleting significantly increased the dry weight of nodules and plants, but not the grain yield. However, lime-pelleting was found to be beneficial though not essential in acid soils.
