Abstract
Soybean is an important leguminous as well as oil seed crop grown in a wide range of climate and soils. It is the second largest oilseed crop in India next to groundnut. The leading state in Soybean is Madhya Pradesh followed by Maharashtra and Rajasthan. A two years research was conducted in two locations under the acidic soil conditions of Nagaland. The Seed and Stover yield, Protein and Oil were recorded during the first, second year and pooled. The location, climate, altitude and soil fertility status were recorded in both the sites. The datas were recorded, analysed and computed statistically. The Seed and Stover yield were significantly increased @ 5 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 H2O + RDF (T 9 ) in the consecutive years as well as pooled. The lowest was recorded in the control plot. The nutrient Protein and Oil content were significantly found to be increased @ 5 kg ha -1 ZnSO4 H2O + RDF (T 9 ) as compared to control in both the years. It was observed that the application of RDF + 5 kg ha -1 ZnSO4 H2O significantly increased the yield, protein and oil content in soybean. From the experiment conducted for two years, it was observed that soybean responded well to application of zinc sources in balanced doses.
