Phosphorus and Boron Application on Growth, Yield, and Quality of Soybean Seeds (Glycine max [L.] Merril)

Abstract

The increased of growth, yield and quality of soybean seeds are expected to occur by applyingP (phosphorus) and B (boron). This research was to investigate the effect of P and application of B their response on growth, yield and quality of soybean seeds. This research was conducted at fieldland and the Laboratory of Seeds and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung from November 2016 to April 2017. This treatment was arranged in a 6 × 2 factorial consisting of six doses of P 2 O 5 (0; 50; 100; 150; 200; 250 kg/ha) and two concentration of B (0 and 5 ppm). This study was designed in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks. Homogeneity of variance was tested by Barlett's test and non-aditivity model using Tukey's test and continued by orthogonal polynomials at α 0.05. The results showed that applying P to dose 250 kg/ha increase the growth, yield and quality of soybean seeds in all variables. Whereas the applications 5 ppm of Boron increased growth, yield and quality of soybean plant seeds higher than without Boron on avariable number of unfallleaf, dry weight of plant, 100 grain weight, germination, dry weight of normal seedling, and vigor index. Response of growth, yield and quality of soybean seeds to increased doses of P did not depend on the granting of B.

Impact of Foliar Application of Boron on Yield and Yield Attributes, Assimilate Supply, Production Efficiency and Fertilizers Productivity of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea) in Field Experiments

“…The increase growth of plant and number of leaf affects the light received by the plant so that it can improve the performance of photosynthesis and produce many photosynthatase in forms of starch, lipids, and proteins. Photosynthatase is translocated inside the plant which helps to increase the dry matter of the plant [20].…”

Yield and yield attributes of black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) as influenced by phosphorus and boron in acid Inceptisol

“…He reported that increasing phosphorus levels increased 100-seeds weight. Timotiwu et al (2018) reported that fertilization of P 2 O 5 with dose of 0 kg/ha, weight of 100 grain produced was 11.27 g and increased as 0.005 g of every additional 1 kg of P 2 O 5 . This is in parallel with research of Thoyyibah et al (2014) who stated that application of various doses of phosphate fertilizers in two soybean varieties had significant effect on grain weight per plant, Detam-1 variety which was cultivated 200 kg/ha of phosphate fertilizers produced the highest weight 42.02 g,…”

“…This finding is in agreement withEl-Habbasha et al (2005). He reported that increasing phosphorus levels increased 100-seeds weight Timotiwu et al (2018). reported that fertilization of P 2 O 5 with dose of 0 kg/ha, weight of 100 grain produced was 11.27 g and increased as 0.005 g of every additional 1 kg of P 2 O 5 .…”
