Abstract: An experiment entitled "Effect of chemical fertilizers and different Rhizobium inoculants on nutrient content, uptake, growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)" was conducted in Kharif season at student research field, College of Agriculture, Indore (M.P.). The soil of the experimental field was medium black in texture, neutral in reaction (pH 7.70) with normal EC (0.38 dS/m) and medium organic carbon contents (0.60%) and analysing low in available N (225 kg/ha), medium in available P (9.60 kg/ha) and high in available K (508 kg/ha) contents. Due to dominance of montmorillonite clay content it has high capacity to swell and shrink and high CEC. A field experiment was consisted of 15 treatments replicated four times in randomized block design (RBD). As per treatment, the seed of soybean cv. JS 335 treated or not treated with fungicides and inoculated with Rhizobium culture before 15, 10, 05, 01 days of planting and on the day of sowing. The maximum NPK content and uptake was recorded in T10 [Thiram+Carbendazim 50 WP - Premax + Rizo-liq (ODS)], while minimum was found in T15 (Absolute control). This increase was due to Rhizobium application which fixed the atmospheric nitrogen and enhanced the availability of nutrients to soybean crop. Maximum yield (21.47 q/ha) was recorded under [Thiram + Carbendazim 50 WP - Premax+ Rizo-liq (ODS)] (T10) treatment and the minimum (15.09 q/ha) was recorded in absolute control (T15) treatment. The application of Rhizobium with or without fungicides showed a synergic effect in increasing the seed yield of soybean per hectare.
