The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and ten treatments. The micronutrients, Sulphur (100,150,200 ppm per plot), Boron (100,150,200 ppm per plot), and Zinc (100,150,200 ppm per plot) concentrations were applied as soil application at 35 DAS. Application of micronutrients (Sulphur, Boron and Zinc) treatments significantly increased the biometric observations i.e. plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf dry weight, dry weight of stem with pod, total dry weight and days to 50% flowering. The growth parameters viz., AGR, RGR, NAR, and LAI are increased significantly due to micronutrients application at concentration (Boron 200 ppm per plot). Biochemical parameters viz., Protein and oil content were significantly superior with the application of Sulphur (200 ppm per plot) and total chlorophyll content in leaf at treatment of Boron (200 ppm per plot). The number of pods per plant, number of grains per plant, seed yield per plant, seed yield per plot, seed yield per hector, hundred seed weight, straw per plant and harvest index increased significantly due to micronutrients application at concentration (Boron 200 ppm per plot). The application of Boron (200 ppm per plot) recorded significantly highest seed yield in the soybean genotype MAUS-162.EnglishThesis
