| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2016 at the Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru to evaluate the effect of foliar nutrition on productivity of soybean crop (Variety MAUS -2). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. There were ten treatments consisting of various combinations of nutrient application viz. RDF + water spray, RDF + Urea @ 2 % spray, RDF + DAP @ 2 % spray at pod initiation, RDF + MOP @ 0.5 %spray, RDF + NPK(19:19:19) @ 2% spray, RDF+ Molybdenum @ 0.5% spray, RDF + Boron @ 0.5% spray, RDF + Zinc chelated @ 0.5% spray, RDF + biodigester liquid spray and RDF through organic source (FYM) @ 13.44 kg plot-1 . The treatments were imposed during pod initiation stage of crop growth (45 DAS). The application of RDF + DAP @ 2% spray resulted in significantly higher plant height at harvest (40.32 cm), number of leaves plant-1 at 60 DAS and at harvest (37.73 and 10.46, respectively), leaf area plant-1 at 60 DAS and at harvest (850.00 cm2 and 394.34 cm2 , respectively), number of pods plant-1 (43.00), number of seeds pod-1 (3.00), number of seeds plant-1 (88.37), higher grain yield (3772 kg ha-1 ) and higher uptake of NPK (302.95, 35.42 and 108.88 kg ha-1 , respectively) compared to the other treatments. Foliar application of DAP @ 2 % also recorded significantly higher oil content (22.01 %), protein content (40.41 %), higher net return of ` 55,808 ha-1 and BC ratio of 2.84. | en_US |
