Abstract

The present research work on application of polyacrylamide hydrophilic polymer for dry land agriculture with five treatments was conducted during kharif -2015. The treatments were replicated four times with randomized block design. The performance in all four treatments comparatively evaluated and the treatment with application of hydrophilic polymer 50kg/ha (T4) was recorded highest average per cent improvement in the soil moisture retention as 59.58 on the furrow and 50.85 between the furrows as compared to control treatment. The yield and growth attributing parameters were also recorded highest with the same treatment. The yield reduced drastically due to prolonged dry spell (35 days) especially during peak reproductive stage of Soybean crop. In case of long dry spell (more than 18 days) the combination of irrigation facility along with the application of hydrophilic polymer at least during the peak crop growth will produce better result.
