Abstract :

An important aspect of agricultural planning is the evaluation of various plant nutrition systems. This research aimed to investigate the effects of foliar spraying with growth stimulants and specific nutrients on several agronomic and physiological traits of soybean under conditions of pest control and non-control. The study was conducted in the fields of Aliabad-e Katul and Aragheh Mahalle in 2017. The research followed a factorial design in a randomized complete block format with three replications. The experimental treatments consisted of pest presence at two levels (with and without sucking pests) and eight foliar spraying treatments: 90% Neutramin amino acid, seaweed extract, humic acid, boron, amino acid + boron, seaweed extract + boron, humic acid + boron, and a control group (no foliar spraying). Results indicated a significant decrease in production when pests were present. The highest number of seeds per pod and seeds per plant was recorded at the Aliabad-e Katul station when pests were absent. Additionally, foliar spraying with seaweed at this station resulted in a higher hundred-seed weight. In contrast, the Aragheh research station in the Gorgan district showed lower biological yield and a higher harvest index compared to Aliabad-e Katul. Furthermore, the application of foliar spraying boron with a combination of amino acid + boron increased the protein and oil content in soybeans.
