Role of Foliar Application of Micronutrients on Growth and Yield of Pulses: A Review

Abstract

Pulses respond positively to micronutrients application, particularly during the reproductive stages, their application is still uncommon. The current review suggest that foliar application of Zn, Fe or Mo had a favourable impact on growth indicators and grain yield. protein content, total and active nodule counts and yield components plant-1. Molybdenum is essential for the development of nodule tissue and an increase in N2 fixation, both of which are necessary for Rhizobium to increase the nitrogen fixation process.
