Physiological Response, Growth, and Yield of Edamame Soybean (Glycine Max L. Merr.) Under Foliar Application of Nano Cattle Bone Ash in Entisol

Abstract

Nano cattle bone ash can reduce requirement for SP-36 and increase pod yield. This study aimed to examine the physiological response, growth, and yield of edamame soybean in entisol of concentration and frequency of foliar application of nano cattle bone ash and SP-36 fertilizer.The research was conducted an experimental method which arranged in a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) which consists of factor concentration (0.15, 0.30, and 0.45%) and frequency (2, 3, and 4 times). In control treatment was given 100% recommended dose SP-36, whereas between concentration and frequency foliar were given 50%. The findings demonstrated that foliar application of nano cattle bone ash with 50% SP-36 resulted in higher leaf dry weight and pod yield per plant as compared to control, increasing pod production per plant by 21.7%. The results of this study concluded that nano cattle bone ash can replace a half dose of SP-36 and increase pod yield. In the future, it is expected that the use of nano cattle bone ash can be applied into soybean cultivation and reduce use of SP-36 fertilizer.

Increasing the Efficiency of Cattle Bone Ash P Fertilization with Nano Technology and Its Effect on the Growth and Yield of Shallots

“…These results align with the research conducted by Załuszniewska & Nogalska (2022), where the application of meat and bone provided better results for winter oilseed rape and winter wheat compared to commercial NPK fertilizers. Another study conducted by Maulidayanti et al (2023) on edamame soybeans demonstrated that the application of nano bone ash at a concentration of 0.15% and a frequency of 3 times was able to substitute up to 50% of the requirement for SP36 fertilizer. This study's results align with Genesiska et al (2022), who reported that foliar application of various concentrations of chicken bone ash nano phosphate fertilizer and SP-36 had the same effects on the fresh weight and dry weight of shoots of soybean plants.…”
