THE INFLUENCE OF THE APPLICATION OF BIOINPUTS ON THE WEIGHT OF 1000 GRAINS AND YIELD OF SOYBEANIN A SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Sustainable agriculture and the application of bioinputs are gaining importance in the global agribusiness sector, relying on the increase in demand for healthy food produced with minimal impact on the ecosystem. The application of new technologies in order to obtain a higher yield of cultivated plants and a better quality of products is the key to improving agriculture in the future. In these studies, NPK nutrients and a preparation based on effective microorganisms - EMs (variants: individually and in combination) were applied to three soybean varieties (Galina, Sava and Rubin) that differ in the length of the growing season, where the influence of year, variety and fertilization on the mass of 1000 grains and the yield of soybeans were analyzed. Based on the obtained results, the application of individual fertilizers and a combination of fertilizers had a positive effect on the investigated parameters. The results of the research show that the NPK and EMs variant was the best, where the weight of 1000 grains was higher by 2.30% (160.02 g), compared to the control (156.41 g), and the yield by 17.57% (3907 kg ha-1) compared to the control (3323 kg ha-1).
