Abstract

Modulation of rock phosphate fertilizer dose in soybean cultivation is crucial for maximizing plant growth and grain yield while ensuring efficient use of resources and environmental sustainability. This study evaluated rock phosphate (RP) dose to produce soybean on Leptic Andosol in Foumbot and Acrisol in Mbalmayo, respectively in the West and Centre regions of Cameroon. This split-plot experiment consisted of five fertilizer rates (control-no input and four Phosphorus (P) rates of 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg P /ha respectively) and two soybean varieties (TGX 1910-14 F and TGX 2001-24 DM) laid out in randomized complete block design with each treatment replicated three times. Plots containing the different P rates also had N (25 kg / ha) and K (40 kg / ha) straight fertilizers. Analysis of variance showed that fertilizer application significantly increased (P
