Effect of Irrigation Frequencies on Growth and Yield of Soybean
B.R. Kazi, F.C. Oad, G.H. Jamro, L.A. Jamil and A.A. Lakho

Abstract: Experiments were conducted at Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam to study the impact of irrigation frequencies on the growth and yield of soybean Cv. Bragg the experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. The irrigation frequencies were 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 irrigations. It was observed that the growth, yield components and oil content were highly significantly affected by irrigation frequencies. Maximum plant height, more branches and pods per plant, seed index and seed yield and oil content percentage were found superior with the application of 6 irrigations followed by 5 irrigations. Whereas, lowest number of irrigations decreased all the traits adversely.
