Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 to evaluate the effect of different doses and methods of boron application on the growth, yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv. Kufri Surya under varied altitudes of Andhra Pradesh. Boron was applied as borax through soil application at 10, 15 and 20 kg ha?¹, tuber dipping at 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%, and foliar application at 100, 200 and 300 ppm, along with an untreated control. Foliar sprays were applied at 30 days after planting. The results revealed that, irrespective of location, soil application of borax @ 20 kg ha?¹ (T4) recorded significantly higher number of leaves at 30, 60 and 80 days after planting and higher yield per plant during both seasons and in pooled analysis.
