Chemical composition of soyabeans from plants treated with growth retardants

Abstract

Treating soyabean plants with chlormequat chloride or N‐dimethyl‐N‐(β‐chloroethyl) hydrazonium chloride in concentrations of 50–400 ppm at two different growth stages did not affect the content of the different N‐fractions or of oils in the seeds obtained. Some treatments led to small increases in total carbohydrate content.

Provision of Essential Minerals Through Foliar Sprays

“…Briefly, it is reasonable to believe that numerous salinity-nutrient interactions are occurring at the same time but whether these ultimately affect crop yield or quality depends upon the salinity level and composition of salts, the crop species, the nutrient in question and a number of environmental factors. Foliar application of micronutrients showed encouraging effects on vegetative growth and nutrient uptake either before or after the salinization treatment El-Fouly et al, (2006). While in our studies spray of individual micronutrient (i.e.…”

Some Growth Promoting Essential Mineral Elements Alleviates The Salinity Effect on Nitrate Reductase and Hill Reaction Activities in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cv. “CIM 496”

“…Therefore, foliar application of essential mineral elements is an alternative approach to cope with saline rooting medium. In this respect [11,12,13] stated that foliar fertilization of both macro and micronutrient is practiced whenever, nutrients uptake through the root system is restricted due to salt stress. Foliar spray did not only increase the crop yields but also reduce the quantities of fertilizer applied through soil.…”
