The effect of seed density, variety and soil inoculant on the yield of soybean

Absztrakt

The research was established in one growing season (2018), in 4 repeats, on 10 square meter random layout plots in the research farm of the Department of Field Crops Research of National Agricultural Research and Innovation Centre, in Szeged-Öthalom.

In our investigation we used two different seeding rates (40 and 60 seeds m^-2) on two soybean varieties (Pannónia kincse, Bahia). This study was carried out in inoculated field soil and non-inoculated field soil. We determined the yield and evaluated our results with ANOVA according to the different seeding density and varieties.

From the results of our one-year survey, we could determine that Bahia had a higher yield than Pannonia kincse, which could be proved at 5% level of significance. Based on this data, we can see that the 60 seeds m^-2 plots produced higher yields than the lower seed density (40 seeds m^-2) plots. The results show that soybean yields increased as a result of soil inoculation.
