Nickel application rates on dry bean cultivars IAC Formoso and BRS notável

Abstract

Nickel (Ni) is required by crops since it is a structural component of the enzymes urease and hydrogenase, which act in assimilation of nitrogen (N) by plants. In spite of its importance, there is a lack of information in regard to use of Ni in fertilization programs for dry bean. Thus, the aim of this study was to define application rates of Ni through the soil adequate for dry bean growth.
