Effect of seed pelleting and foliar nutrition on growth of soybean

Abstract

Field experiments conducted during rabi seasons of 1998 and 1999 in red sandy clay loam soils, under irrigated condition at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai revealed that seed pelleting with ammonium molybdate 250 mg kg-1 and ferrous sulphate 500 mg kg-1 of seed in Rhizobium inoculated seeds produced improved growth parameters of soybean and yield. The same way benzyladenine foliar spray 25 ppm 2 times in association with DAP 2% and KCI 1% produced higher grain yield and are considered as efficient practice in improving the growth parameters of soybean.
