ABSTRACT

This experiment aims to find the optimal foliar fertilizer type, planting distance, or combination of both to increase the productivity and growth of soybeans. This experiment was conducted in Mulyasari Village, Banyuasin District, South Sumatra Province, eleven feet above sea level, 2°38'42.35" South Latitude, and 104°45'5.92" East Longitude. An overflow-type experiment took place in 2017 between April and August. For the trial, we used a randomized complete block design consisting of two components, each with three replications. The first factor was foliar fertilizer; in the absence of foliar fertilizer, nitrogen was included in (Nitrogen + Cu), (Nitrogen + Cu+ Zn), and (Nitrogen + Cu + Zn + Mg). The second factor was the planting distance, which came in two sizes, 25 cm by 20 cm and 40 cm by 12.5 cm, with two seeds in each hole. Six weeks after planting, the foliar fertilizer impacted the quantity of leaves and plant height (WAP). The productivity was 3.170 tons/ha without foliar fertilizer and 3.785 tons/ha with N + Cu, respectively. This means that foliar fertilization can increase yields by 615 kg ha-1 compared to without foliar fertilization. The planting distance had an impact on the number of leaves at 6 and 10 WAP; plant fill pod count, 100 seed dry weight, plant dry weight, seed dry weight per plot, and production: 3. tons/ha at 25 cm × 20 cm and 3.278 tons/ha at 40 cm × 12.5 cm were the results.
