Reasponse of soyabean (Glycine max) to soil and foliar applied boron at different rates
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of soil and foliar application of boron (66.14 % B 2 O 3 ) at different rates (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha) on plant height, first pod height, pod/plant, boron content of seed, germination rate, 1000 seed weight, oil, protein and ash content of seed and yield of 'A 3935' soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) during 2002-2003 at experimental area of Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in split plot arrangement with 3 replications utilizing application methods as main plot and boron rates as subplots. Increasing boron rates applied either soil or foliar improved yield (40 %), first pod height (17 %), boron content of seed (42 %), germination rate (11%) and 1000-seed weight (5 %) of soybean. For maximum yield, 1.09 kg/ha rate of boron was recommended.
