Effect of foliar application of agrochemicals on growth, yield and quality of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)

Abstract

The experiment was conducted during kharif season of the year 2016- 17 at Experimental Farm, Agronomy Section, College of Agriculture, Latur. To study the effect of foliar application of agrochemicals on growth, yield and economics of soybean. Among the different treatment the application of thiourea spray @ 0.1 % at 30 and 45 DAS (T4) was recorded higher plant height (46.34 cm), leaf area plant-1 11.35 dm2, and dry matter accumulation plant-1 23.55 g plant-1 with higher B: C ratio. This was closely followed by thiourea spray @ 0.1 % at 30 DAS (T3), KNO3 spray @ 1 % at 30 and 45 DAS (T8) and 19:19:19 spray @ 1 % at 30 and 45 DAS (T10) and control (T1) were recorded lower value.
