Foliar fertilization with boron on soybean crops

Foliar nutrition of crops:

Foliar fertilization in citriculture

certainly not a new concept to the citrus industry. For more than five decades, foliar fertilization of citrus has been recommended to correct zinc, manganese, boron, copper and magnesium deficiencies. It is now common knowledge in agriculture that properly nourished crops may tolerate insect pests and diseases. Traditionally, citrus growers try to achieve optimum nutrition through direct soil ...

Foliar Fertilization of Soybeans

Extensive research addressed foliar fertilization of soybeans at reproductive stages during the 70s and 80s. The soybean plant has been characterized by markedly reduced root activity during late seed development and increased translocation of nutrients and metabolites from other tissue into the seed. This depletion of nutrients from leaves could result in decreased photosynthesis, leaf senesce...

Soybean Seed Phenol, Lignin, and Isoflavones and Sugars Composition Altered by Foliar Boron Application in Soybean under Water Stress

Previous research showed that foliar boron (B) application at flowering or seed-fill growth stages altered seed protein, oil, and fatty acids. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of foliar B fertilizer on seed phenolics (phenol, lignin, and isoflavones) and sugars concentrations. A repeated greenhouse experiment was conducted on soybean [(Glycine max(L.) Merr.)] under ...

Foliar applied fungicides: Effect on soybean disease, soybean yield and interaction with insecticides

In a trial conducted at the University of Minnesota Southwest research and Outreach Center, Lamberton, MN, Headline fungicide was applied at three rates at V5, at two rates at R2 and at one rate at V5 and R2. At R4, Headline, Quadris Tilt ad Bravo were applied at a single rate each. Additionally at R4 Warrior was applied alone and in combination with Headline and Quadris, Lorsban was applied wi...
