Effect of soil application of ag-zyme liquid organic fertilizer on growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ag-zyme liquid organic fertilizer on growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.). The experiment was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. The experimental was the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments and four replications. The treatments are 0 ml(T1), 50 ml(T2), 100 ml(T3), 150 ml (T4) and 200 ml (T5) of Ag-zyme liquid organic fertilizer. The results obtained showed that soil application of Ag-zyme liquid organic fertilizer at different rates significantly (P<0.05) influenced the vegetative and yield parameters of soybean evaluated. The application of moderate levels of (T­2 and T3) Ag-zyme liquid fertilizers markedly increased the yields (35.595 kg/ha and 29.583 kg/ha respectively) compared to other levels and control. The result showed that the increase in vegetative, parameters, yield and yield components were correlated to mitigation effect of application of Ag-zyme liquid organic fertilizer during late planting in relation to harsh environmental condition.
