A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2013-14 at farm of Botany section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur to study the influence of two foliar sprays of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 ppm ethrel at 30 and 45 DAS on chemical, biochemical, quality parameters and yield of soybean. Data revealed that 200 ppm ethrel significantly increased leaf chlorophyll, leaf nitrogen, leaf phosphorus, leaf potassium content, seed protein and oil content and yield of soybean.
