Abstract:  A field  experiment  was carried  out  at Instructional  cum  Research  Farm, Indira  Gandhi  Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur during kharif season of 2006 study the “Effect of integrated nutrient management practices in soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) on Growth behavior, Nutrient Uptake and yield in central India ”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication s. The treatment consist 10 integrated nutrient management viz. T1- Control (no fertilizers),   T2-100% RDF (25:80:60 kg NPK ha-1),  T3- FYM 10 t ha-1, T4 50% RDF (12.5:40:30 kg NPK ha-1) + FYM 10 t ha-1,  T5- 50% RDF (12.5:40:30 kg NPK ha-1.) + FYM 5 t ha-1 +Rhizobium + PSB, T6- T2 + Zinc 5 kg ha-1 + Mg 10 kg ha-1,  T7- T3 + Zinc 5 kg ha-1 + Mg 10kg ha-1,  T8- T4 + Zinc 5 kg ha-1  + Mg 10 kg ha-1,  T9- T5 + Zinc 5 kg ha-1 + Mg 10 kg ha-1,  T10- 100% RDF (25:80:60 kg NPK ha-1) + FYM 10 t ha-1 + Zinc 5 kg + Mg 10 kg ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB ha-1.  The result revealed  that  growth  parameter  viz.-  plant  height,  number  of  leaves,  number  of  branches,  dry  matter accumulation, chlorophyll content & leaf area were recorded highest result with the application of 25:80:60 kg NPK ha-1 + 10 t FYM ha-1 + Zn 5 kg ha-1 + Mg 10 kg ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB. Among the all integrated nutrient management practices, application of 25: 80:60 kg NPK ha-1 + 10 t FYM ha-1 + Zn 5 kg ha-1 + Mg 10 kg ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB (T10) recorded the highest NPK content  (272.66, 22.56, 323.23 NPK kg ha-1 , respectively) in the soil &   NPK uptake (198.96:15.73:160.3 kg NPK ha-1, respectively) by crop, whereas the lowest NPK content (225.6, 11.40, 282.60 NPK kg ha-1 , respectively) in the soil &  NPK uptake (97.63, 8.71, 61.86 NPK kg ha-1 , respectively) by crop recorded under control (T1). In respect of  the highest seed & Stover yield  recorded 21.41 q ha-1  & 26.50 q ha-1 , respectively under  application of 25: 80:60 kg NPK ha-1 + 10 t FYM ha-1 + Zn 5 kg ha-1 + Mg 10 kg ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB (T10) compared to other treatment but, it was statistically at par with treatment (T6).. However, the lowest seed & Stover 12.97 q ha-1   & 16.39 q ha-1, respectively recorded with no fertilizers application (control -T1).
