Effect of application of zinc, boron and molybdenum on yield and yield attributing characters of soybean {Glycine max (L.) Merrill}

The productivity of Soybean is very low in India i.e. upto 1000 kg/ha. The use of micronutrients in soybean is one of the ways to boost up the productivity. The yield attributing characters and yield are directly related to the productivity. On the other hand FYM is the organic source of different macro and micronutrients. Hence in the present investigation efficacy of micronutrients (Zn, Bo and Mo) was studied with and without FYM for boosting up the soybean productivity. It is concluded from the experiment that application of recommended dose of N: P₂O₅: K₂O (30: 60: 0 kg/ha) + Zinc @ 10 kg/ha + FYM 10 t/ha significantly contributed in the yield and yield attributing characters hence ultimately resulted in increased productivity of soybean.
