A field study was conducted to know the “effect of soybean to the foliar application of thiourea in rainfed conditions” under Northern transition zone of Karnataka. Among various thiourea levels, foliar application of thiourea at 750 ppm at 20-25 DAS and at 50-55 DAS recorded significantly higher seed yield (2582 kg/ ha) and net return (` 56386/ha). Interaction effect showed that foliar application of thiourea at 750 ppm at 20-25 DAS and at 50- 55 DAS in all the three varieties of soybean recorded significantly higher seed yield and profitability compared to all other treatment combinations. Thus foliar application of thiurea at 750 ppm proved most productive and remunerative compared to other thiourea levels for DSb-21 variety with seed yield ( 2587kg/ha) and net returns (56579 `/ha).
