Soybean is one of the most important crops in the world and presents great versatility. This study aims to investigate the effect of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculant at 0, 600 and 1200 mL ha -1 on soybean crop, with and without 1 L ha -1 calcium (Ca 41%) + 0.4 L ha -1 boron (B 14%). Plants were grown for 90 days in plastic pots with 3 kg of sand and vermiculite (v/v) autoclaved at 121 o C for 1 h. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications in a greenhouse. Soybean yield parameters were evaluated, such as, dry weight of shoot, root and total; plant height, nitrogen in the shoot; number and dry weight of nodules; chlorophyll index in the leaves; number of pods per plant (NPPL); number of grains per pod (NGP); and number of grains per plant (NGPL). The addition of Ca + B increased significantly NPPL, NGPL and NGP. The NPPL, NGPL were significantly increased with 600 mL ha -1 of the inoculant. The dose of 600 mL ha -1 of the inoculant combined with Ca+B significantly stimulated NPPL, NGPL and NGP. It is concluded that the productivity of soybean was increased with addition of 600 mL ha -1 inoculant, in combination with Ca and B.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
