Effect of presowing seed treatment with molybdenum and cobalt on growth, nitrogen and yield in bean (Phaseolus vulgarius L.)

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. Cv. 'Burpees Stringless') seeds were subjected to two cycles of presowing soaking and drying treatments with sodium molybdate and cobalt nitrite at 1 and 5 ppm concentrations used separately and also in combination. Sodium molybdate 2 ppm and cobalt nitrite 1 pp...

Description
Summary:Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. Cv. 'Burpees Stringless') seeds were subjected to two cycles of presowing soaking and drying treatments with sodium molybdate and cobalt nitrite at 1 and 5 ppm concentrations used separately and also in combination. Sodium molybdate 2 ppm and cobalt nitrite 1 ppm used singly proved better than the remaining treatments with respect to nodulation, dry matter, nitrogen and yield. Combined treatment with sodium molybdate and cobalt nitrite did not produce additive effect on any parameter studied compared to their usage alone.
