dc.description.abstract	A field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University farm, Dhaka, Bangladesh from December 2019 to April 2020 to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and molybdenum on growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.). The experiment comprised of two factors: Factor A: Levels of phosphorous: P 0 ha -1 , P 1 : 30 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 , P 2 : 60 kg P 2 O 5 ha ii -1 and Factor B: Levels of molybdenum: Mo 0 : 0 kg Mo ha -1 , Mo 1 : 1 kg Mo ha -1 , Mo 2 : 1.5 kg Mo ha -1 . The two factors experiment comprised of nine treatments combination was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Individual application of different levels of phosphorus and molybdenum fertilization showed significant effect on growth and yield contributes studied. For phosphorus application, growth parameter viz. plant height, number of leaves plant -1 : 0 kg P 2 , number of branches plant increased significantly up to 30 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 fertilization and yield parameter viz. pod length, 100 seed weight, number of pods plant -1 , number of seeds pod , seed yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index also significantly increased in P 1 (30 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) treatment. The highest seed yield (2.44 t ha -1 -1 ) was found from P 1 (30 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) treatment and lowest yield (1.20 t ha -1 ) was obtained from P 0 (control) treatment. In case of molybdenum, growth parameter and yield contributing characters were also significantly increased up to Mo 2 (1.5 kg Mo ha -1 ) treatment. The highest seed yield (2.38 t ha -1 ) was obtained from Mo 2 (1.5 kg Mo ha ) treatment and lowest yield (1.23 t ha -1 ) was found from Mo 0 (control) treatment. Combined application of phosphorus (30 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 -1 ) and molybdenum (1.5 kg Mo ha ) showed significant variation on all parameters of soybean. The combined application of 30 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 and 1.5 kg Mo ha -1 may be considered for getting higher yield of soybean.	en_US
