Online Published on 18 December, 2023. Abstract A field experiment was conducted at the Department of Botany research farm, Balbhim Arts, Science, and Commerce College during the kharif seasons of 2022 and 20223 to assess the impact of integrated nutrient management and plant growth regulators on growth, yield, nutrient uptake, economy, and efficiency of the nutrient in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) variety Phule Sangam KDS 726. The study involved six different nutrient management options: T0 (control), T1 (100% RDF NPK), T2 (50% RDF NPK + FYM at a rate of 10 t/ha), T3 (50% RDF NPK + FYM at a rate of 10 t/ha + Rhizobium +PSB), T4 (100% RDF NPK + IAA and GA3), and T5 (50% RDF NPK + FYM at a rate of 10 t/ha + Poultry manure + PSB [Rhizobium] + IAA and GA3). It was observed that the yield of biomass and grains significantly increased when the recommended amounts of fertilizer, poultry manure, and biofertilizer were used, and also when foliar sprays of IAA and GA3 at 100 ppm were applied. It was associated with significant increase in yield attributes such as 100 seed weight, number of nodules, and trifoliate leaves.
