Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect K-polyphosphate mix foliar spraying reduced soybean yield by 10.9% on average over two sites.
- Intervention effect All foliar spray treatments damaged soybean foliage, most with repeated application.
- Intervention effect Spray treatments did not affect soybean pod, whole-plant or seed weight, or seed quality.
- Observation Absorption of applied nutrients into soybean leaf tissue and translocation to reproductive tissue were detected only in a few instances.
- Intervention effect Foliar spraying increased nitrogen levels in soybean seeds only.
- Intervention effect Foliar spraying increased phosphorus levels in soybean leaves only.
- Intervention effect Foliar spraying did not change potassium levels in soybean.
- Recommendation Foliar N, P, K and S fertilization of soybean does not appear practicable for increasing yields under the study conditions.
