Effect of Sulphur and Boron on Physiological Parameters of Soybean

Soybean is the world’s foremost provider of protein and oil. The use of secondary nutrient and micronutrients in soybean is one of the ways to boost the productivity and to improve seed quality parameters. Sulphur and boron are the most important for increasing productivity of soybean crop. This book presents the work that has immense application of nine treatments including one control, three sulphur with increment dose, three borax with increment and two combinations of sulphur and borax. A wide variation was found for almost all the treatments. Among all the treatments Sulphur @ 40 kg /ha + Borax @ 20 kg /ha showed better performance for all physiological aspects. In general growth factors such as AGR, RGR, NAR, LAI and LAD per plant were different during the entire period of crop growth. The total chlorophyll, protein and oil content were maximum in treatment receives Sulphur @ 40 kg/ha + Borax @ 20 kg/ha (T8) among all the treatments. The treatment Sulphur @ 40 kg /ha + Borax @ 20 kg /ha was found superior in all characters.
