Evaluation of Boron Levels for Improving the Growth and Yield of Wheat Crop (Triticum aestivum L.)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The experiment comprising of six levels of boron, i.e., 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kg ha-1 was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of boron on growth and yield of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.)] cv. HUW 234. The treatments were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that plant height, tillers plant-1, ear length (cm), fertile spikelets ear-1, grains ear head-1 and 1000 seed weight, were increased significantly up to 2.0 kg ha-1boron. Maximum plant height was recorded with T4 (2.0 kg B ha-1) and was at par with T5 (2.5 kg B ha-1). T4 and T5 were significantly superior over lower doses and control. Thus, effect of boron was significant for all the growth and yield attributing parameters.
