Abstract:
Soybean is an important oil seed crop grown in Vertisols in Chhattisgarh state. The stagnated yield of soybean demands technology, which may break the yield ceiling of the crop. Therefore, different type and level of seaweed saps have been used which plays a major role in enhancing yield & nutrient uptake of soybean. In the present study seaweed extracts (Kappaphycus and Gracilaria) were sprayed over leaves twice at various concentrations (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% and 15% v/v). Seaweed extract applied topically considerably improved the parameters of nutrient absorption. Under 15% K Sap + RDN, the crop absorbed the most nutrients.
