It contributes about 50 per cent of the edible oil production.&nbsp; A pot&nbsp; experiment was conducted&nbsp; during&nbsp; Kharif&nbsp; season&nbsp; at&nbsp; UUHF to study&nbsp; the&nbsp; effect of&nbsp; organic manures on growth , flowering , enzyme activity and yield of Soybean ( <em>Glycine max L</em>.) in relation to climate change under mid hill condition of Uttarakhand .&nbsp; The experiment was laid out in RBD with&nbsp; three&nbsp; replications. The Vermicompost, B.D and&nbsp;&nbsp; FYM were applied as a basal dose at the time of sowing. Application of Vermicompost, FYM,&nbsp; BD with&nbsp; rhizobium&nbsp; recorded&nbsp; significantly higher plant height (82.40 cm), number of leaves per plant (51.50) and leaf area (391.50 cm<sup>2</sup>), dry matter accumulation (22.43 g/plant) and physiological parameters&nbsp; NAR, CGR, RGR, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, biological yield (55.7 g/plant), grain yield (27.5 g/plant), harvest index in T<sub>4</sub>Vermicompost&nbsp; 10t/ha + BD 1t/ha + with rhizobium <sub>&nbsp;</sub>and lower in T<sub>11 </sub>(FYM – 7.5t/ha + BD 2.5t/ha + Without&nbsp; rhizobium).<sub>.&nbsp; </sub>Organic manures with rhizobium had great influence on Nitrate Reductase&nbsp; activity and Protein content. Significantly higher growth and&nbsp; biochemical&nbsp; parameters&nbsp; were recorded in T<sub>4 </sub>&nbsp;and lowest in T<sub>11</sub>.Where&nbsp; as the results revealed that the&nbsp; basal application&nbsp; of organic&nbsp; manures found to be beneficial in increasing&nbsp; seed yield and yield contributing&nbsp; characters. Meteorological parameters showed a positive&nbsp;&nbsp; effect on&nbsp;&nbsp; growth&nbsp;&nbsp; and yield of Soybean. There was a positive and significant correlation between seed yield and all growth&nbsp; and&nbsp; biochemical parameters.</p> ER -
