Impact of Recommended Bio-Fertilizers Technologies on Yield of Soybean in Ujjain District of M.P

Agriculture production depends on availability and use of quality and quantity of farm inputs. The chemical fertilizer is supposed to be an essential input for boosting up agricultural production. It had played a significant role in increasing agriculture production in the country. However, the continuous use of chemical fertilizers had deteriorated soil fertility, destroyed soil microbial activity and disturbed environmental balance and ecological soundness. Soil is biologically active and home to a wide range of living organisms, including soil microbes, earthworms and growing plant roots. Recommended dose of bio-fertilizers are believed in the potential alternative to chemical fertilizer in improvement of soil fertility for sustainable crop production. e.g. Rhizobium + Phosphotika at 200 gm each per 10 kg of seed as seed treatment are recommended for pulses such as pigeonpea, green gram, black gram, cowpea etc, groundnut and soybean. Azotobacter + Phosphotika at 200 gm each per 10 kg of seed as seed treatment are useful for the crops. For this study 120 respondents were taken as sample of bio-fertilizer users from the Ujjain district of M.P. to collect the data. This index consisted of sixteen components of use of bio-fertilizers in soybean production technologies disseminated to the respondents through various KVK program. Hence, researcher is interested to see the impact of bio-fertilizer in soybean crop in Ujjain district with 120 respondents were the sample of bio-fertilizer users in the study. The major finding was obtained Out of total 60 beneficiary respondents 60.00 per cent of respondents had medium production of soybean use of bio-fertilizers, 25.00 per cent high production group whereas only 15.00 per cent beneficiary low production of soybean in use of bio-fertilizers while out of 60 non beneficiary farmers, higher percentage of the respondents i.e., 51.67 per cent belonged to medium production of use of bio-fertilizers in soybean crop followed by low and high production group.
