Efficiency of liquid boron microfertilizers in soybean cultivation technology

Nowadays, soybean is gaining great importance as a high-yielding protein and margin crop. The soybean area in our country is increasing every year. The applied agro-technologies play a crucial role in obtaining stable and high quality soybean yields. Studies were conducted to determine the effectiveness of liquid boron microfertilizers Izagri Bor and Lebozol Bor in the technology of soybean cultivation of Biryuza variety. The results of the conducted production experiment on dark gray forest soil in the conditions of the Oryol Region established the positive role of boron microfertilizers on the soybean productivity of soybeans. The foliar treatment of soybean with microfertilizers in the budding phase contributed to the change in the yield structure, increase in the number of beans per plant and Thousand Seed Weight. The effect of liquid boron microfertilizers on soybean yield as a result of mechanized harvesting of the crop was revealed. An increase in soybean yield by 3.6-3.8 c/ha over the control was observed. In the experiments with foliar fertilizers, the quality of the products improved. Instrumental analysis showed that the use of Izagri Bor and Lebozol Bor contributed to an increase of 1.5-2.5% in the protein and fat content of the soybean grain compared to the non-treated variety.
