Abstract:
Fermented fish tonic (FFT) help to provide complex arrays of macro and micro nutrients and minerals. The present study was conducted to find out the effect of Fermented fish tonic on the growth and yield of Glycine max. (L) .The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Five treatments were defined with five replications viz. T1: Distilled water (Control), T2: 10, T3: 20, T4: 50 and T5: 100%. FFT. All the other management practices were followed uniformly. Growth and yield parameters were measured and analysed statistically using ANOVA test and means were compared with DMRT. Results proved that, application of 20% FFT significantly increased the plant height (9.6%), chlorophyll content (23.02%), number of leaves (43.66%), leaf area (65%), number of nodules (74.35%), and the total yield (75.28%) compared to the control plants. Therefore, this experiment concluds that application of 20% FFT increases the growth and yield on Glycine max. (L)
