Utilization of Biodynamic Farming to Improve Quality Attributes of Soybean (Glycine max L. var. Co. Soy)
Journal Title: STAR Journal - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Organics must form an indispensable component of the manurial schedule for any crop. The present study was designed to study the effect of biodynamic (BD) compost on biochemical parameters of soya bean plants on 30th, 45th, 60th and 75th day after sowing. The protein content was more in T1 treatment (3.5 kg of BD compost) on 30th, 45th, 60th and 75th day. The total carbohydrate was found to be maximum in T1 (3.5 kg of BD compost) on 30th, 45th, 60th and 75th day. The chlorophyll ‘a’, ’b’ and ‘total’ chlorophyll were highest in T1 (3.5 kg of BD compost) on 30th, 45th, 60th and 75th day. The ascorbic acid and protein content of the harvested seeds were significantly increased in T 1 treatment on 75th day. The biodynamic compost helps in improvement of crop quality and reduces environmental pollution. The study shows that utilization of biodynamic compost is beneficial for legumes to improve the quality of the products obtained from the plants.
