Influence of molybdenum addition to soybean and azukibean seed in untilled cultivation on seedling emergence, growth and yield

Abstract

The bean seeds, which are sensitive to high humidity soil, are often damaged by sowing in the rainy season. Therefore, securing of rapid seedling emergence is important. We investigated the influence of molybdenum (Mo) addition to seeds on budding rate, growth, and yield of the beans. Results indicated that seedling emergence rate was promoted by the Mo addition, leading to the securing of yield.
