SOYBEAN LEAF WRINKLE: DEVELOPMENT, PLANTS' NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND CHEMICAL FORMS OF MANGANESE(II) ADSORBED ON THE ROOTS
Description: Studies on the distribution of exchangeable, complexed and precipitated Mn(II) chemical forms adsorbed to the roots of soybean plants throughout the development cycle can help in the retroactive interpretation of possible periods of excess availability of the element in the soil-plant system. The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of Mn toxicity on the soybean genotypes DONMARIO 66i68 IPRO and BMX FÚRIA CE in nutrient solution in the Nutrient End Technique (NFT) system, with variable Mn availability throughout the plant development cycle. The change in Mn availability in solution will be performed as follows: from phenological stage V1 to V7 the amount of Mn in solution will be 2 M, from V7 to V10 (50 M), from V10 to V13 (100 M), from V13 to V16 (0 M) and from V16 to R7 (0 M).

Wheat productivity and seed quality are often constrained by nutrient imbalances and environmental stress, which can be mitigated through biostimulants and nanofertilisers. This study evaluated the effects of foliar applications of nanoparticulate sulphur (SNP) and hydrolysed amino acids (AAs) on wheat agronomic performance and seed quality under contrasting environmental conditions in Paraná, Brazil, during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons. The experiment was conducted in four environments, using a randomised block design, with a 5 × 2 factorial scheme and four replications. Parameters included grain yield, yield components, and physiological and nutritional seed traits. SNP positively influenced the number of grains per ear and spikes per metre, with quadratic responses peaking at 1.048 kg ha−1 for SNP and 0.347 kg ha−1 for S, respectively. However, AAs showed no significant effects, likely due to favourable climatic conditions and high soil fertility. Regarding seed quality, a positive response in seed vigour was observed at 2 kg ha−1 SNP in one environment, while other parameters showed no consistent improvement. Principal component analysis indicated that environment and soil fertility were the main sources of variation in yield and seed quality. Overall, foliar SNP and AA applications did not markedly enhance wheat performance under non-stressful conditions.

AbstractNickel (Ni) is an essential element in nitrogen (N) metabolism. This study evaluated the effects of foliar fertilization with Ni on the grain yield (GY), yield components, N content, grain protein, and oil content of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr]. Two field experiments, each testing a different soybean cultivar, ‘BRS 284’ and ‘BRS 399RR’, were performed during the 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 growing seasons, in Londrina, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks with three treatments (0, 60, and 120 g Ni ha−1, using nickel chloride) and eight replications. Foliar application of Ni was performed by applying half of the rate at flowering and half during grain filling. The results showed that application of 60 and 120 g Ni increased the GY by 4.0% and 6.4% compared to the control in BRS 399RR in the first season. For BRS 284, no significant differences were observed in either season. N concentration in leaves improved by 7.1% and 7.8%, in the first and 18.5% and 14.0% in the second season under 60 and 120 g Ni rates, respectively, compared to control in BRS 284. For BRS 399RR, the leaf content of N increased 16.5% and 14.5% for both Ni rates compared to the control only in the first season. However, only in the second season, spraying 60 and 120 g Ni increased the N concentration in the grains by 7.9% and 22.4% for BRS 284 compared to the control. The effects of foliar Ni spray vary among soybean cultivars and dry periods, which influence N supply, use efficiency, and GY.

Composted sewage sludge (CSS) applications and the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are emerging as sustainable alternatives in tropical agriculture. However, no studies have validated the combined use of these practices. This study aimed to evaluate the residual effect of three CSS applications on soil fertility (0.0–0.2 m and 0.2–0.4 m layer), plant nutrition, morphological and yield components, and grain yield and quality of soybean, with and without co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum combined with Azospirillum brasilense, under a no-tillage system (NTS) in the Cerrado region. The field experiment was conducted over a six-year period in Selvíria, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This research was evaluated during the 2022/23 first cropping season. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replicates, arranged in a 5 × 2 + 1 factorial scheme, consisting of five cumulative CSS rates (0.0, 15.0, 22.5, 30.0, and 37.5 Mg ha−1, wet basis), with and without co-inoculation of A. brasilense, plus an additional control treatment with conventional mineral fertilization (CMF). The residual effect of the cumulative CSS rates improved soil fertility in both layers, similarly to CMF, regardless of co-inoculation. Co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Azospirillum brasilense did not influence the soybean variables assessed. We found that the 24.7 Mg ha−1 CSS accumulated rate yielded the highest soybean yield (4990 kg ha−1). CSS can be used as an organic fertilizer in soybean cultivation, helping to improve the efficiency of mineral fertilizers while ensuring environmentally friendly disposal of municipal sewage sludge.

AbstractThe high protein content in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) necessitates maximizing the nitrogen (N) absorption capacity and the biological N fixation process. This study aimed to evaluate whether foliar application of molybdenum (Mo) combined with cobalt (Co) enhances the productivity, yield components, N content, and protein and oil contents of soybeans. The experiment consisted of randomized blocks with a split‐plot arrangement, with two soybean cultivars (BRS 399 Roundup Ready [RR] and BRS 284) as a main plot and the presence or absence of foliar application of Co + Mo as a subplot, during two seasons and eight replications. Foliar application was performed during the vegetative stages V3 and V5. The results revealed that foliar fertilization with Co + Mo increased the grain yield by 9.8% for BRS 399 RR in the first season and by 15.4% for BRS 284 in the second season. For BRS 399 RR, the N concentration in the leaves, protein yield, and oil content were also positively affected by the Co + Mo application. For BRS 284, only the N concentration in leaves increased in the first season, whereas the protein yield improved in the second season. However, compared with the control, the protein and N concentrations in the grains of both cultivars and seasons were not significantly influenced by Co + Mo application. The foliar application of Co + Mo had both positive and neutral effects on grain yield, protein yield, and leaf N concentration, depending on weather conditions and the soybean cultivar used, thus impacting N use efficiency.

The application of mathematical models using biotic and abiotic factors for the efficient use of fertilizers to obtain maximum economic productivity can be an important tool to minimize the cost of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) grain yield. In this sense, using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is an important tool in studies involving optimization. This study aimed to estimate soybean yield in Luiziana, Paraná state, Brazil, by considering two growing seasons and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a function of the morphological and nutritional parameters of the plants. Results reveal a well-trained network, with a margin of error of approximately 10-5, thus acting as a tool to estimate soybean data. For the phases, model validation and network test, i.e., data that were not part of the training (validation), the errors averaged 10-3. These results indicate that our approach is adequate for optimizing soybean yield estimates in the area studied.

The selection of an appropriate nitrogen (N) source can mitigate the negative effect of root-knot nematodes on the yield of common beans. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the application efficiency of four N sources (urea, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, and sodium nitrate) and inoculation with Rhizobium tropici on the yield components, chlorophyll, and total nitrogen (N) leaf contents of four common bean cultivars (IDR Curió, IDR Sabiá, IDR Tuiuiú, and IDR Bem-te-vi). These beans were cultivated in substrates both infected and uninfected with Meloidogyne incognita. In the soil containing phytonematodes, the IDR Curió cultivar exhibited the highest shoot and root dry weight yield, resulting in the greatest root volume, total N content, and grain yield. Among the N sources, the application of either urea or ammonium sulfate proved the most effective in enhancing common bean productivity in soil, irrespective of the cultivar or whether the soil was infected with Meloidogyne incognita.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the foliar application of molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni) on the grain yield, yield components, and oil and protein contents in the grains of soybean cultivated under two edaphoclimatic conditions in Brazil. The following soybean genotypes were evaluated at the beginning of the R1-R2 growth stage: 'Brasmax Desafio RR', in the municipality of Londrina, in the state of Paraná; and 'TMG 7063 IPRO' and 'Brasmax Desafio RR', in the municipality of Selvíria, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The treatments consisted in the application of four Mo rates (0, 400, 800, and 1,600 g ha-1) and three Ni rates (0, 60, and 120 g ha-1). The soybean genotypes exhibited varying responses to the two edaphoclimatic conditions. The foliar application of Mo is an effective strategy to increase the grain yield and protein content of 'TMG 7063 IPRO' e 'Brasmax Desafio RR'. However, with the application of 120 g ha-1 Ni, both genotypes show the worst performance for yield components and oil and protein contents. The 'Brasmax Desafio RR' genotype presents varied responses across different soil and climate conditions.

A soja tem apresentado aumento de produtividade nos últimos anos e o manejo adequado das plantas tem melhorado a qualidade fisiológica das sementes. A aplicação com micronutrientes, especialmente molibdênio (Mo) e níquel (Ni) tem importante estratégia para aumentar o rendimento de grãos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da aplicação foliar de Mo e Ni sobre o teor foliar de nitrogênio (N), qualidade da germinação (protrusão radicular, envelhecimento em termos de vigor, germinação e tamanho de plântulas) e tamanho de sementes de soja cultivadas sob duas condições edafoclimáticas. Os tratamentos consistiram em quatro doses de Mo (0, 400, 800 e 1600 g ha-1) e três doses de Ni (0, 60 e 120 g ha-1) aplicadas no início do estádio reprodutivo (R1 e R2). Os plantios foram realizados em Londrina (Brasmax Desafio RR) e Selviria (TMG 7063 IPRO e Brasmax Desafio RR). A protrusão radicular, vigor e tamanho das plântulas foram influenciados pela aplicação foliar de Mo, enquanto a aplicação de Ni em altas doses diminuiu a protrusão radicular. A aplicação de Mo influenciou positivamente o teor de N, tamanho dos grãos e qualidade fisiológica das sementes na dose de 800–1600 g ha-1.

Abstract Background and aims Nano-zinc (Zn) fertilizer is an easily adaptable and environmentally safe alternative option that can effectively improve growth, yield and biofortification of common bean. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPBs) could promote plant growth and nutrients availability in sustainable manner. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of foliar nano-Zn application in association with seed co-inoculations of PGPBs on growth, yield, biofortification and Zn use efficiencies in common bean cultivation. Two field experiments were performed with seven co-inoculations of PGPBs and three foliar nano-Zn doses applied 50% at R5 and 50% at R8 stages of common bean to determine plant height, shoot dry matter, grain yield, Zn concentration and uptake in shoot and grains, Zn partitioning index, daily Zn intake and Zn use efficiencies for agronomic biofortification. Results The combined foliar nano-Zn application and co-inoculation of R. tropici + B. subtilis enhance grain yield, leaf chlorophyll index, total protein content, grain Zn concentration and uptake, daily Zn intake, Zn use efficiency, applied Zn recovery and Zn utilization efficiency in common beans in 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons. Foliar nano-Zn application at a dose of 1.5 kg ha−1 increased plant height, shoot dry matter, shoot Zn uptake, Zn partitioning and agro-physiological efficiency under co-inoculation with R. tropici + B. subtilis in both cropping years. Conclusions The treatments with foliar nano-Zn application at a dose of 1.5 ha−1 and co-inoculation with R. tropici + B. subtilis improved performance, chlorophyll index, protein content, grain yield, and Zn efficiencies that can lead to better biofortification of common bean in tropical savannah. Therefore, it is recommended that applying nano-Zn via foliar along with co-inoculation of PGPBs could be the better option for productivity and biofortification of common bean. Graphical Abstract
