- Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2016 at the Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore 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 per cent spray, RDF + DAP @ 2 per cent spray at pod initiation, RDF + MOP @ 0.5 per cent spray, RDF + NPK (19:19:19) @ 2 per cent spray, RDF+ Molybdenum @ 0.5 per cent spray, RDF + Boron @ 0.5 per cent spray, RDF + Zinc chelated @ 0.5 per cent spray, RDF + bio-digester 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 per cent spray resulted in significantly higher number of pods plant-1 (43.00), number of seeds pod-1 (3.00), number of seeds plant-1 (88.37) and higher grain yield (3772 kg ha-1) compared to the other treatments. Foliar application of DAP @ 2 per cent also recorded significantly higher net return of Rs.55,808 ha-1 and BC ratio of 2.84.
