- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with salts resulted in better development of the root and shoot system of soybean than the control.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with KNO 3 increased soybean dry matter production over the control.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with NaNO 3 increased soybean dry matter production over the control.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with DAP increased soybean dry matter production over the control.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with NaNO 3 increased soybean seed yield.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with KNO 3 increased soybean seed yield.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing seed treatment with DAP increased soybean seed yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray with KNO 3 moderately increased soybean growth over the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray with thiourea moderately increased soybean growth over the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray with DAP moderately increased soybean growth over the control.
- Intervention effect Seed yield of soybean increased significantly by 56-70% in all treatments except NaCl spray.
- Intervention effect The number of soybean pods per plant increased by 41-63% in all treatments except NaCl spray.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray of nutrients increased soybean protein yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray of nutrients did not affect soybean oil content.
- Recommendation Coupling pre-sowing seed treatment with foliar fertilization may effect a considerable fertilizer economy in soybean.
