The Effect of Iron, Zinc and Mangnese on Quality and Quantity of Soybean Seed
Abstract
In order to study the effects of iron, zinc and manganese on the yield of soybean an experiment was conducted in Miandoab agriculture research station. Treatments included iron (0, 25 and 50kg/ha), zinc (0, 25 and 40kg/ha) and manganese (0 and 40kg/ha) were arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. All of agronomic operation carried out based on research recommendations. Our results showed that 40kg/ha zinc and manganese led to the highest seed yield (3397 and 3367kg/ha), respectively. However zinc and manganese 40kg/ha produced the highest biological yield (7447 and 7387kg/ha), respectively. In general, the greatest grain number and seed weight per plant, pod number as well as biological and seed yield of soybean were obtained from 40kg/ha of zinc and manganese.
