Best OFT

Title of OFT	Problems	Performance indicator	Result/impact over farmers practice
Assessment of Micro-nutrients application in Soybean	Low yield of Soybean due to severe Zinc deficiency in soil (>70%)	Yield Plant Height Test Wt Pods/plants B:C ratio	The data shows that the soybean yield increased 23% by the application of 25 Kg/ha Zinc Soptionphate followed by one spray of composite mixture of micro-nutrient proved better for higher yield in Soybean. Besides this, data also revealed that there was increase of 5% in test weight and 68.75% increase of number of pods per plants. The incremental B:C ratio was 1:1.21.
Assessment of potassium nutrition in soybean	Low yield due to no/suboptimal use of potassium (50%)	Pods per plant Test weight Yield qtl/ha	Application of balanced amount of potassium resoptionted in vigorous growth of plant and better ramification of roots resoptionting in 27 % more yield and good size of seed with 15 % higher test weight. B:C ratio 1:1.95
