Application of molibidenum seed treatment (TS)

Abstract

Due to the advancement of soybean production, alternatives are sought to improve the ability to biologically fix nitrogen, however, the effectiveness of this procedure may be impaired by the lack of micronutrients, such as molybdenum. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive and developmental aspects and the nodulation of soybean, submitted to different inoculation doses and varied application techniques of Molybdenum. The experiment was conducted with the application of Mo in 4 ways, seed treatment, leaf pathway, added seed pathway treatment and sowing furrow. Height and stem diameter, nodulation, dry matter and plant biomass were analyzed. Significant data were observed for plant height and biomass, where the best application was in the treatment of seeds added from the leaf pathway. The presence of inoculant provided characteristics very close to the treatment where no inoculant was used.
