The experiment was conducted at Central Cotton Research Farm, Sreepur, Gazipur during cotton growing season of 2009-2010. Cotton variety cv. CB-10 was used under experiment. Eight levels of boron (0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.50 and 1.75, g L -1 of foliar B application of 1.75 g B L -1 water. The highest lint yield (0.47 t ha -1 ) was obtained in 1.00 g B L -1 water than that of control. The highest germination (95.58%) was recorded at 1.00 g B L -1 water than that of control. Foliar boron fertilizer increased seed oil and protein content but it was insignificant. Numerically, the highest oil content (19.06%) was found at 1.25 g B L -1 water and protein (23.75%) at 1.75 g B L -1 water foliar spray.

Eight levels of boron (0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.50 and 1.75, g L-1 water) were sprayed at reproductive stage of cotton as treatment. The design of the experiment was randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications. Result revealed that, foliar application of boron has significant influence on different traits of cotton. Foliar application of boron may improve the performance of cotton plant by reducing the percentage of boll shattering and increasing the growth of square for better quality fiber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
