An experiment was conducted to study during kharif season of 2016 and 2017 at Sehore (M.P). The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with three replication having Ten treatments viz. Control (T1), Bradyrhizobium japonicum alone(T2), Local check (KRIBHICO– rhizobium culture(T3), T2+ P 60 kg/ha through SSP(T4), T2 + K 30 kg through MOP(T5), T2 + PSB 10 g/kg seed treatment(T6), T2 + P 30 kg/ ha + PSB 10 g/kg seed treatment(T7), T2 + K 15kg /ha + PSB 10 g/kg seed treatment(T8), T2 + T8 (T9) and P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10). On the basis of results obtained on various parameters as per approved synopsis following summary and conclusions have been drawnout: Growth characters such as no. of branches/plant, dry weight/plant, number and dry weight of root nodules attained significantly higher values with the application of P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10) as compared to other treatments followed by (T5 and T6 ).Yield and yield attributing characters such as no. of pods/plant, seed index and seed yield attained significantly higher values with the application of P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10) as compared to other treatments followed by (T5 and T6 ). Number of pods per plant was noted higher in the treatment P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10) as compared to other treatments followed by (T5 and T6). Appreciably higher seed index was noted under P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10) as compared to other treatments followed by (T5 and T6 ). Application of P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10) as compared to other treatments followed by (T5 and T6 ) gave significantly higher N, P, K, Zn, B & Mo in straw and seed as compared to other treatments and control. Application of P 60 kg/ ha+ K 30 kg/ha (T10) as compared to other treatments followed by (T5 and T6 ).also improved the content of N, P, K , Zn, B and Mo in soil at harvest of soybean.
