Key Conclusions

The application of BEOZ® Nephrite at the V3 growth stage had a clear, positive impact on soybean performance. Treated plants developed stronger main and lateral roots, enabling better access to moisture and nutrients. Nodule activity remained active for a longer period, extending the effective vegetation cycle and supporting sustained growth. These improvements resulted in a higher number of pods per plant, confirming the product’s strong influence on reproductive development and final yield.

BEOZ® Nephrite demonstrated the ability to:

  • Extend the period of active nodule function
  • Strengthen main and lateral root development
  • Increase the number of beans per plant
  • Improve yield compared with the untreated control

Objective

Evaluate the effect of BEOZ® Nephrite on root development, nodule activity, vegetative growth, and yield of soybean under field conditions.

Results

Root Development

Plants treated with BEOZ® Nephrite developed stronger main roots and a higher number of lateral roots, improving nutrient uptake and early vigor.

 

Nodule Activity & Vegetation Period

The treated variant maintained active nodules for a longer period, extending the vegetation cycle and supporting more efficient nitrogen fixation.

Visibly more viable root nodules in the plot treated with BEOZ Nephrite (right).

 

Pod Formation

BEOZ® Nephrite increased the number of pods per plant, indicating improved reproductive performance.

 

Yield

The combined improvements in root system, nodule activity, and bean formation resulted in a yield increase of + 15.6% compared with the control.
