The evaluation and classification of soybean cultivars, based on their tolerance to deficient or excessive boron levels, may be relevant when recommending fertilizers and amendments, and for plant breeding programs. This research aimed to study the response of four soybean cultivars to doses of B added to the nutrient solutions. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions, at the experimental station of Instituto Agronômico, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil in 1998. The soybean cultivars IAC-1, IAC-8, IAC-15 e IAC-17 were […]

Soybean response to potassium fertilization was evaluated over a twelve-year period in a field experiment on a Haplohumox soil, in Campos Novos, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Treatments consisted of a combination of four levels of K2O applied in the first year (0, 80, 160 and 320 kg ha1), and three levels of K2O (0, 40 and 80 kg ha-1) applied annually from the fifth year. The critical level of K in the soil and in the leaves was determined […]

Supplying capacity, response to fertilization and residual effect of K fertilization were evaluated in a twelve-year soybean field experiment on a Haplohumox soil, in Campos Novos, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Treatments consisted of: four levels of K2O (0, 80, 160 and 320 kg ha-1), applied only in the first cropping, on the whole plots; three levels of K2O (0, 40 and 80 kg ha-1), applied annually in the sub-plots from the fifth year; one treatment with application of 40 […]
