1、The Best Foliar Fertilizers for Soybeans
2、Absorption of foliar Finally, for soybean, we used four near-isogenic lines (NILs) that varied 10-fold in trichome density to compare foliar Zn absorption by examining bulk leaf Zn concentrations. For this study, we also compared three types of Zn fertilizers, namely ZnSO 4, nano-ZnO, and bulk-ZnO (all applied at 1000 mg l −1).

Effect of foliar application of fertilizers on growth and yield
The growth parameters were significantly influenced with the foliar application of different combination of fertilizers on soybean crop (Table.1) The effect of the different foliar application on growth parameters, namely, plant height, leaf area index, number of branches and dry matter accumulation per plant were significantly affected by ...
The Impact of Foliar Fertilization on the Physiological Parameters
The application of basic mineral fertilizers in combination with foliar fertilization had a significantly positive impact on the quality indicators of soybean seeds. The highest yields were achieved when the foliar treatment was applied in the early pod formation stage.
Effects of planting density and foliar fertilization on the
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a dual-purpose crop (grain and forage) with considerable economic and nutritional value in modern agriculture. Despite extensive research on soybean cultivation, the synergistic effects of planting density and foliar fertilization on the phyllosphere microbial community structure and its functional diversity remain poorly understood, particularly in dual ...
[citation report] Use of Foliar Fertilizers for the Specific
Foliar fertilization aims to provide rapid-absorption nutrients to the plant, supplement soil fertilization, and fulfill the uptake peaks' demand. This study's objective was to verify the effect of foliar fertilizers application in stages R2 (full bloom) and R5 (beginning seed) on soybean grain quality, yield components, and grain yield.
Soybean-specific foliar fertilizers are formulated to promote plant growth, enhance disease resistance, and improve yield and quality. These fertilizers typically contain essential macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), along with microelements like zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn). They aid in nutrient absorption from the soil and support healthy plant development.
Below are common types of soybean-specific foliar fertilizers:
-
Urea (NPK): Urea is a nitrogen-rich fertilizer that rapidly supplies plants with nitrogen, promoting vigorous growth. In soybean cultivation, it can be used as a base or topdressing fertilizer, particularly during early spring growth stages, to ensure adequate nitrogen for rapid development.
-
Monoammonium Phosphate (KH₂PO₄): This compound provides both phosphorus and potassium, supporting root development, disease resistance, and drought tolerance when applied as a topdressing fertilizer.
-
Borate-Based Fertilizers: Boron, a critical microelement, is essential for root, stem, and leaf growth. Borate fertilizers deliver boron directly through foliar spraying, enhancing stress resistance and yield.
-
Microelement Fertilizers: Beyond NPK, microelements like zinc, iron, and manganese strengthen disease resistance, cold and drought tolerance, and root systems. Adding these to foliar fertilizers addresses specific nutritional gaps.
-
Amino Acid-Based Fertilizers: Amino acids, vital organic compounds, improve plant health by boosting disease resistance and yield when supplied via foliar applications.
-
Humic Acid-Based Fertilizers: Humic acid, a natural organic matter, improves soil structure and fertility. When combined with NPK, it enhances nutrient uptake efficiency and overall plant vigor.
-
Microbial Inoculants: These contain beneficial microbes (e.g., nitrogen-fixing, phosphorus-solubilizing, and potassium-releasing bacteria) that decompose soil organic matter and increase nutrient availability. Some also suppress pathogens, reducing disease risk.
Soybean-specific foliar fertilizers vary widely to meet different needs. When using them, follow product instructions carefully to avoid overapplication, which can waste nutrients or harm plants. For optimal results, combine foliar fertilization with other agronomic practices, such as balanced fertilization, efficient irrigation, and integrated pest management, to maximize yield and quality.
