| description | Soybean yields can be considerably improved by inoculation with selected <i>Bradyrhizobium japonicum</i> strains and fertilization. The aim of this study was to assess the productivity of two soybean cultivars depending on the applied N mineral fertilizers and seed inoculation with <i>B. japonicum</i>. The study showed that on average, for both cultivars, the soybean yield was most favorably affected by the combined use of inoculation and nitrogen fertilization (increase in seed yield by 42%, protein yield by about 28%). The application of mineral nitrogen at the dose of 30 or 60 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup> allowed the increase in the seed yield by about 17% and protein content by about 14% compared to the control. Inoculation of soybean seeds with <i>B. japonicum</i> increased the yield of soybeans by about 20%, proteins by about 10% compared to the control, and inoculation of Hi<sup>®</sup>Stick Soy favored a better yield than Nitragina. Inoculation of seeds with Nitragina or Hi<sup>®</sup>Stick Soy and fertilization with mineral nitrogen increased the content of protein and fiber in seeds of both soybean cultivars, as well as reduced the amount of ash and fat. The seeds of cv. Aldana had a higher amount of protein and ash than cv. Annushka, but a similar amount of fat and fiber. |
