Abstract :

To study the effect of zinc and iron foliar application on yield and yield components of soybean an experiment was carried out in factorial based on complete randomized design (CRD) with four replications in the research fields of Islamic Azad University- Karaj branch in 2009. Foliar treatment was included three levels Iron (non foliar, once foliar, twice foliar) and three levels Zinc (non foliar, once foliar, twice foliar). Results indicated that iron foliar did not have significant difference on soybean yield. Interaction between iron and zinc showed that the total of traits were not of significant difference. Results indicated that effect of twice foliar zinc had significant differences on yield and yield components and seed yield increased as compared with control (example or non foliar) about 1276 kilogram in hectare. also zinc once of foliar indicated significant differences of soybean yield increased as compared with control (example or non foliar) about 607 kilogram in hectare. Also results indicated zinc to twice foliar caused significant increase of seed dry matter that this increase in zinc twice foliar treatment was 95 percent more than none foliar treatment. This experiment results indicated that zinc foliar could increase the soybean yield.
