Role of Foliar Application of Micronutrients on Growth and Yield of Pulses: A Review

Pulses respond positively to micronutrients application, particularly during the reproductive stages, their application is still uncommon. The current review suggest that foliar application of Zn, Fe or Mo had a favourable impact on growth indicators and grain yield. protein content, total and active nodule counts and yield components plant-1. Molybdenum is essential for the development of nodule tissue and an increase in N2 fixation, both of which are necessary for Rhizobium to increase the nitrogen fixation process.
