ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a method for increasing the seed yield of leguminous plants in general and soybeans in particular by a foliar-applied fertilization method at an R5 seed growth stage for soy bean plants and the pod growth stage in other leguminous plants. The method requires spraying the leguminous plants with a methanol solution that is up to 50% of a water based solution; then subsequently or concurrently applying a urea based nitrogen fertilizer at 25-50 pounds/acre. Other leguminous plants which the method used therewith includes peanuts, peas and beans.
