Effect
Fylloton treated soybean, c.v. Mavka and showed enhanced yield as well as biometric, nutritional, nutraceutical properties compared to untreated control plants. Biostimulant treatment increased plant height across all conditions, on average double spray (DS) at 1.0% was most effective (+31%).
Biostimulant treatment increased number of nodes in the main shoot across all conditions, on average DS at 0.7% was most effective (+37%).
Biostimulant treatment variably affected location height of the first pod, on average single spray (SS) at 1.0% was most effective (+23% but not significant).
Biostimulant treatment increased number of pods per plant across all conditions, on average SS at 0.7% was most effective (+34%).
Biostimulant treatment increased number of seeds/square metre across all conditions, on average DS at 1.0% was most effective (+27%).
Biostimulant treatment increased seed yield across all conditions, on average DS at 1.0% was most effective (+23%).
Biostimulant treatment had no observable effect on 1000 seed weight, under any treatment, compared to untreated controls.
Biostimulant treatment caused dose-dependent linear increase in seed protein content, with DS 1.0% treatment increasing protein content by 15% compared to SS 0.7%.
Biostimulant treatment significantly increased seed fat content under all conditions, with the largest increase of (+23%) under SS 0.7% conditions.
Biostimulant treatment increased reducing power in soybean plants with a 70% increase under DS 0.7% conditions. No observable effect on phenol content, flavonoid content or anthocyanin content was identified under any treatment conditions.
