Abstract
Background: Gypsum and organic amendments are potential ameliorants for reclamation of saline and/or sodic soil conditions to improve crop productivity and soil fertility. Application of gypsum at higher dose ( greater than 1 t ha-1) with organic amendments such as FYM, crop residue on soybean crop is largely unknown for salt affected soils. Impact of these soil amendments on soybean chlorophyll pigments, symbiotic traits, nutrient uptake, nutrient harvest index, carbohydrate equivalent yield, crop productivity and economic returns is not being addressed properly. This is particularly true for oilseed crop grown under saline conditions. Methods: A field experiment was conducted for two years (2017 and 2018) to assess the impact of amendments like gypsum, crop residue (CR), farm yard manure (FYM) with recommended dose of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (RNPK) fertilizer dose on soybean crop in degraded vertisol with eight treatments and three replications laid in randomized block design. Result: Results revealed that among treatments, phenological traits such as total chlorophyll (1.561 and 1.593mg g-1), carotenoid (0.156 and 0.154 mg g-1) at 30DAS (days after sowing), nodulation traits (33.6 and 32.4 nodules plant-1) and dry matter accumulation (26.2 and 23.9 g plant-1 at harvest) improved significantly in RNPK+Gypsum+CR+FYM and RNPK+Gypsum+FYM treatments respectively. Combined application of fertilizers with organic and gypsum amendments increased soybean yield by the magnitude of 49-53% compared to only fertilizer applied treatments. Higher biological yield (4169-4339 kg ha-1), carbohydrate equivalent yield (258.8-266.5 kg ha-1) and nutrient uptake (118: 8:47:11 -140: 9: 57: 12 kg ha-1N:P:K:S) were observed in RNPK+Gypsum+CR±FYM treatments. Economic analysis showed higher net returns and benefit-cost ratio in RNPK+Gypsum+CR (Rs 15247 and 1.48) and RNPK+Gypsum (Rs 14499 and 1.59) treatments.
