Abstract: A field study to know the effect of integrated nutrient management on soybean yield, soil fertility and nutrient balance in Vertisols was conducted during kharif 2013, on the long term experiment initiated during 2009-10 at Research field of AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The soil of the experimental site was moderately alkaline in reaction, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. The nine treatments replicated thrice in randomised block design comprised of control, 100% RDF through chemical fertilizers and the combinations of 50% N through gliricidia green leaf manure and 50% N through inorganics, 25 kg K ha-1 and seed treatment with Rhizobium and PSB. The results indicated that the use of gliricidia green leaf manuring in conjunction with chemical fertilizers recorded higher soybean yield with improvement in soil fertility and nutrient balance in Vertisols.
