Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is one <strong>of</strong> the key industrial grain legume crops throughout the<br />

world. It is known for its high productivity, pr<strong>of</strong>itability and diverse industrial uses (Das et. al.<br />

2016). In India, the area under soybean cultivation during 2021-22 was 119.98 lakh ha with<br />

production <strong>of</strong> 118.88 lakh MT and productivity <strong>of</strong> 991 kg ha -1 . In Maharashtra the area under<br />

soybean was 46.17 lakh ha with production <strong>of</strong> 54.21 lakh MT and productivity <strong>of</strong> 1174.27 kg<br />

ha -1 . In Vidarbha, the area under cultivation was 17.65 lakh ha with production <strong>of</strong> 22.79 lakh<br />

MT and productivity <strong>of</strong> 1291.5 kg ha -1 (Anonymous, 2022).<br />

In recent years soybean has become a predominant rainy season crop under rainfed<br />

agroecosystem in Vidarbha region. However, the average productivity <strong>of</strong> crop continues to be<br />

very low as compared to world average. Occurrence <strong>of</strong> dry spell at critical growth stages <strong>of</strong><br />

crop is one <strong>of</strong> the major factors responsible for low productivity <strong>of</strong> soybean in Vidarbha region.<br />

In drought stress, there is a reduction in nutrient uptake by the roots partially due to the<br />

reduction in soil moisture. Under such condition, foliar application is a viable option and hence<br />

the present investigation was conducted with an objective to study the effect <strong>of</strong> foliar<br />

application <strong>of</strong> potassium nitrate on yield and economics <strong>of</strong> soybean under rainfed conditions.<br />
