Effect of phosphorus on growth, yield and quality of soybean (Glycine max L.); A review

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is one of the most important source of oil and protein and is commonly used in both human and animal diets. For better production of soybean, it is compulsory to focus on the application of different essential nutrients in the form of fertilizers. Nodule formation of soybean is directly depending on the application of P fertilizer. Even though the application of phosphorus the yield of soybean has been increase, but other hand the application of their surplus quantity will performed adversely effects on yield of soybean. We have to focus towards soybean because soybean is the most important oil seed crop in the world. It is also known as an important grain legume of the world. This paper indirectly focuses on role of phosphorus in improving oil seed crop production and directly focuses on role of phosphorus in improving growth yield and quality of Soybean.
