ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted to study the effects
of different rates of nitrogen and phosphorous on the nodulation and growth of
soybean. The pot experiment was conducted under a rain shelter in Agro
Technology Park, Eastern University, Sri Lanka. The experimental design was CRD
with four replicates. Different fertilizer combinations were used as treatments
such as T1-30N:150P: 75K: kg/ha, T2-70N:150P:75K: kg/ha, T3 (control)-50N:150P:75K:
kg/ha, T4-50N:125P:75K: kg/ ha and T5-50N:175P:75K: kg/ha. The results revealed
that there were significant (p
