ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted in the agriculture field of the International University of Business Agricultural and Technology (IUBAT), Dhaka, from January to June 2017 to find out the effect of different Rhizobium inoculations on soybean production. The experiment was set up in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. Eight Rhizobium inoculations and one control treatment were used in the study to assess the effect of different biofertilizers on soybean production. The findings of the study showed that Strain Bacteria (SB) 316 inoculant performed better in all aspects of growing parameters and yield components like nodulation, vegetative growth, and yield. However, the control treatment performed lowest in every parameter. As a result of the experiment, it could be concluded that Rhizobium inoculation has a significant effect on vegetative growth, nodulation, and yield component of soybean. The SB 316 inoculant has been found as the most effective Rhizobium inoculation in soybean production.
