The Combined Effect of Drought Stress and Nitrogen Fertilization on Soybean
2020
Oqba Basal | András Szabó
Soybean is one of the most important crops worldwide; however, its production and produced seed quality are challenged by the increasingly reported drought waves because of its relative susceptibility to drought stress conditions. Nitrogen (N) is a major macronutrient that has distinctive influence on soybean, especially if applied in correct rates. Moreover, N has an additive importance under drought stress conditions. An experiment was carried out in Debrecen, Hungary in 2017, 2018, and 2019 to investigate the sole and the combined effects of N application under different irrigation regimes on soybean physiology, yield, and its components in addition to the quality of the produced yield. Results showed that the morpho-physiological traits, in addition to the yield component traits were influenced by both fertilization rates and irrigation regimes. Most importantly, high N rate is not recommended with the absence of drought conditions as, compared to low rate, it decreased flower and pod number per plant, plant height, and seed yield. On the other hand, high N rate enhanced most traits under drought stress conditions. 100-seed weight had the highest correlation with yield, followed by flower and pod number per plant, plant height, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).
