Abstract:

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is considered as one of the major sources of oil and protein. In this study, the effects of vermicompost (VC) and sulfur (S) on soybean photosynthesis responses, yield, and grain quality were studied. To this end, a split-plot design field experiment based on randomized complete blocks with nine treatments and three replications was conducted in Aligudarz city Lorestan province, Iran in 2017. The first factor included Vermicompost treatments (0, 4 and 8 t h-1) as the main plot and the second factor included sulfur treatments (0, 250 and 500 kg h-1) as the sub plot. Results of the present study revealed that VC application significantly increased the stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E), net photosynthetic rate (PN), chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), chlorophyll a+b (Chl a+b), carotenoids (Car), grain yield (GY), grain oil content (GOC), and grain protein content (GPC) of soybean. Furthermore, S application (250 kg h-1) improved the important traits in comparison to the control treatments. A significant interaction was found between VC and S treatments, suggesting the combined application of VC and S may improve soybean physiological responses, yield and grain quality in comparison to the VC and S treatments alone.

Dryland Wheat Grain Yield and Yield Components as Affected by Slope Direction and Residue Rates

Limited information is available on the effect of residues rates and slope direction on dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield.  This study was carried out to determine the effects of residues rates and tillage direction on grain yield and yield components of the Sardary wheat in a dryland region in Zanjan. Five wheat residues rates (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% surface cover) were applied and i...

Effects of starter nitrogen fertilizer on soybean root activity, leaf photosynthesis and grain yield

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of starter nitrogen fertilizer on soybean root activity, leaf photosynthesis, grain yield and their relationship. To achieve this objective, field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014, using a randomized complete block design, with three replications. Nitrogen was applied at planting at rates of 0, 25, 50, and 75 kg N ha-1. In both ye...

Responses of soybean yield and yield components to light enrichment and planting density

Light intensity intercepted by the soybean canopy during the reproductive period is an important environmental factor determining soybean yield components and grain yield. A 2-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of light enrichment and its interaction with planting density on yield formation of soybean cultivars. Light enrichment increased seed yield per plant and yie...
