Impact of Basal Phosphorus Application and Foliar Molybdenum Spray on the Agronomic Performance of DVN11 Soybean

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of basal phosphorus (P2O5) application combined with foliar molybdenum (Mo) spraying on the growth, development, and yield of the DVN11 soybean variety. A field experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with different treatment combinations of P2O5 and Mo. The parameters measured included plant height, number of leaves, pod formation, biomass accumulation, and final yield. The results demonstrated that the combined application of P2O5 and foliar Mo significantly enhanced plant height and leaf number compared to the control. Pod formation and biomass accumulation were also positively influenced by the treatments, indicating improved overall plant health and productivity. The highest yield was observed in the treatment with the optimal combination of basal P2O5 and foliar Mo, highlighting the synergistic effect of these nutrients. Our findings suggest that the integration of basal phosphorus application with foliar molybdenum spraying can be an effective agronomic practice to boost the growth and yield of DVN11 soybean. This study provides valuable insights for soybean cultivation and nutrient management, promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
