Verbatim
e0“Field trial studies were carried out to find out whether performance of soybean could be improved”
e4“As a result of foliar spray moderate increase in growth in KNO 3 (20 %), thiourea (29 %) and DAP (25 %) treatment was observed over 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 DAP increased soybean seed yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray with KNO 3 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 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.
- Association The number of existing soybean nodules was reduced in both control and treated plants at soil pH 8.4.
