Abstract:

The field investigation entitled Effect of soil and foliar phosphatic fertilizer on growth and yield of soybean was conducted during the kharif season of 2012 at the experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, M.K.V., Parbhani with a view to find out the response of foliar and soil application of phosphatic fertilizer on growth and yield of soybean , to study the economics of foliar phosphatic fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in FRBD design with twelve treatment combinations, comprising of three phosphorus levels viz. P1 ( 0 kg P2O2 ha-1), P2 (30 kg P2O2 ha-1) and P3 (60 kg P2O2 ha-1) and four foliar sprays of BOOST-52 (0:52:34) viz., F0 (no foliar application), F1 (foliar application of BOOST-52 (0:52:34) at 35 DAS), F2 (foliar application of BOOST-52 at 50 DAS) and F3 (foliar application of BOOST-52 (0:52:34) at 35 DAS and 50 DAS). 30 kg N ha-1 as basal application and 1.25 kg K2O ha-1 as foliar application at 35 and 50 DAS were common for all the treatments. Gross and net plot size was, 5.4 m x 4.5 m and 4.5 m x 4.0m, respectively. The soil was clayey in texture, low in organic carbon, poor in nitrogen and medium in available phosphorus and high in potash and slightly alkaline reaction. Sowing was done by dibbling on 7th July, 2012. The genotype used for study was MAUS-71. From the result of experiment it can be concluded that among the phosphorus level P3 (60 kg P2O2 ha-1) and foliar application of BOOST -52 (0:52:34) at 35 and 50 DAS (F3) were the best with better growth, yield and quality also highly profitable.
