INFLUENCE OF SULPHUR AND BORON ON THE GROWTH, YIELD AND OIL CONTENT OF BARI SOYBEAN-6 (Glycine max L.)

Abstract

The experiment was conducted during the period from November, 2016 to April 2017 to Influence of sulphur and boron on the growth, yield and oil content of BARI Soybean-6 (Glycine max L.). In this experiment, the treatment consisted of four Levels of sulphur viz. 0 kg S ha ha ha -1 -1 ii

-1 and three levels of boron viz. 0 kg B ha (control), 10 kg S ha -1 -1 , 20 kg S ha (control), 1.0 kg B ha . The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The collected data were statistically analyzed for evaluation of the treatment effect. Results showed that a significant variation among the treatments in respect majority of the observed parameters. Different levels of sulphur showed significant variation on all parameters of soybean. The maximum number of pods plant -1 , and number of seeds pod The highest seed yield (1.93 t ha number of pods plant attained from 2 kg B ha -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 , 40 kg S and 2 kg B was recorded from 40 kg S ha ) was observed from 40 kg S ha , number of seeds pod -1 -1 -1 . The maximum and number of seeds pod . Interaction effect of different levels of sulphur and boron showed significant variation on all parameters of BARI soybean 6. The highest seed yield (1.85 t ha t ha -1 -1 ) was recorded from 2 kg B ha ) was found from 40 kg S ha -1 and 2 kg B ha -1 -1 -1 . The highest seed yield (1.99 . The combined use of 40 kg S/ha and 2 kg B/ha along with recommended doses of other fertilizer would be beneficial to increase the seed yield of soybean variety BARI soybean 6.
