“…The higher number of branches in soybean exhibited by treatment receiving soil application of FeSO 4 @ 10 or 20 kg ha -1 and two sprays of chelated Fe @ 0.2% might be due to the combined application of Fe with recommended dose of other major nutrients which in turn might have increased uptake of nutrients in the plants leading to enhanced chlorophyll content and carbohydrate synthesis and thus helped in increased number of branches per plant of soybean. Similar results were also noticed by Kumar et al [13] and Kunjammal and Sukumar [14].…”

Aims: To study the effect of soil and foliar application of iron on growth parameters, quality and yield of soybean (Glycine max.L.). Study Design: The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with three replications. Place and Duration of the Study: Agricultural Research Station, Kasbe Digraj, Dist: Sangli (MS) India. The study was conducted during Kharif 2018-19. Methodology Applied: The present investigation consisted of eight treatments such as absolute control, general recommended dose of fertilizer (GRDF), GRDF + soil application of FeSO4 @ 10 and 20 kg ha-1 with and without two foliar sprays of chelated Fe @ 0.2 per cent at 30 and 50 days after sowing (DAS) , GRDF + soil application of FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1, GRDF + FeSO4 @ 10 kg ha-1 + cow dung slurry @ 500 litre ha-1. Results: The basal application of FeSO4 @ 10 or 20 kg ha-1 along with two foliar sprays of chelated Fe @ 0.2 per cent at 30 and 50 days after sowing improved growth parameters of soybean viz; chlorophyll content, average number of days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, number of branches, number of pods and effective root nodules as compare to only soil application or foliar spray of iron. Significantly higher grain yield, straw yield, 100 grain weight, oil and crude protein yield of soybean were obtained in soil application of FeSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 along with two foliar sprays of chelated Fe @ 0.2% at 30 and 50 days after sowing. Conclusion: Integrated approach of iron nutrition in soybean both as soil and foliar application could result in better growth and the enhanced yield of soybean.
