The field study was conducted to assess the economic value of inoculated (Rhizobium japonicum) and un-inoculated soybean under different nitrogen levels (0, 50, 75 kg ha-1) at Rawalakot Experiment Farm, Azad Kashmir. The partial economic analysis showed the superiority of the field having inoculum + 50 kg N ha-1, where the physical productivity (1522.34 kg ha-1), revenue productivity (Rs. 13320.47 ha-1), net returns (Rs. 3220.47 ha-1) and cost-benefit ratio (1:1.31) were higher as compared to other treatments. Thus, it is recommended that bio fertilizer should be inoculated which fix atmospheric nitrogen in the root nodules with the in-organic nitrogen at the level of 50 kg ha-1 where maximum output could be achieved.
