A present investigation on “Effect of different organic inputs on soil microbial count, growth and yield of soybean on inceptisol” was conducted during kharif 2007-08 at the Cropping Systems Research Project Farm, M.P.K.V., Rahuri to study the response of soybean to various organic inputs under irrigated condition. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments and four replications. Total eight treatments consisting of organic inputs viz.,T1 : Control, T2 : Farm yard manure (FYM) 5 t ha-1, T3 :Vermicompost 2 45 DAS), T6 t ha-1, T4 : FYM + vermicomopst (50+50) , T5 :FYM + Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and: Vermicomopst + Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS), T7 : FYM + vermicomopst (50+50) + Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS), T8 : Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) were tested.The application of FYM + vermicomopst (50 % each) + Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) to soybean recorded significantly higher values for growth, yield attributes and yield of soybean. The application of FYM + vermicomopst (50 % each) + Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) showed higher protein and oil content in soybean grain than rest of the treatments used. The total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by soybean was significantly higher due to application of FYM + vermicomopst (50 % each) + Jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) to soybean. The net monetary return was recorded maximum under FYM + vermicompost (50 % each) + jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) followed by jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) and B:C ratio was higher where jeevamrut applied to soybean 2 times (30 and 45 DAS).Application of FYM + vermicompost (50 % each) + jeevamrut 2 times (30 and 45 DAS) to soybean recorded enhanced microbial count viz., fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes followed by application of FYM + vermicompost (50 % each).
