The present investigation entitled, “Effect of different resource conservation practices on soil biological properties and biomass production of different plant parts of soybean” was undertaken during 2014-15 at Research farm, Dr. PDKV, Akola. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments replicated three times. The treatments comprised of unfertilized control, chemical fertilizers alone and their combinations with organics viz., FYM and phosphocompost. The soil of experimental site was black belongs to Vertisols. The soil and plant samples were collected and analyzed for their different properties. The application of RDF based on soil test through FYM + remaining P through phosphocompost (100% N through FYM + P compensation through phosphocompost to previous crop) recorded significantly highest soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) (232.36 mg kg-1) and microbial biomass nitrogen (30.92 mg kg-1) (T7). The maximum (2776.73 kg ha-1) total biomass was noticed in treatment (T2) where RDF based on soil test (25% N through dhaincha lopping + RDF compensation to previous crop).
