“…Boron helps the formation of more flowers, pollen germination, and speed up the growth of pollen tube, facilitating better pod setting in plant thus resulting increased number of pods per plant under B application @ 1.5 kg ha -1 . Similar statement was reported by Qamar et al (2016); Padbhushan and Kumar (2014). The maximum seeds per pod (10.6) was obtained from application of 1.5 kg B ha -1 that was comparable to treatments of 2.0, 2.5 and 1.0 kg B ha -1 (Figure 1b).…”

“…Boron application plays an important role in plant cell wall formation and membrane constancy (Bassil et al, 2004). It facilitates to increase the flowering, germination of pollen, accelerates the growth of pollen tube, pod and seed setting and seed yield of legume (Qamar et al, 2016). Boron is useful in chlorophyll synthesis and carbohydrates metabolism (Laxmi et al, 2020).…”

An experiment was conducted in calcareous soil at the research farm of Regional Pulses Research Station,Madaripur during 2014 and 2015 to determine the suitable dose of B for yield maximization of different varieties of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. There were 25 treatment combinations comprising five levels of boron (0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kg ha-1) and five varietiesof mungbean (BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-3, BARI Mung-4, BARI Mung-5 and BARI Mung-6) along with a blanket dose of N20P25K30S10Zn2 kg ha-1. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. Main effect of boron indicated 1.5 kg ha-1 B was superior to other doses in respect of yield, protein content and yield traits of mungbean varieties. However, the highest yield increment (31.4%) over control was achieved from 1.5 kg B ha-1. In interactions, the maximum seed yield was achieved from var. BARI Mung-6 with the application of B @ 1.5 kg ha-1. As such cultivation of mungbean var. BARI Mung-6 with the application of boron @ 1.5 kg ha-1 along with N20P25K30S10Zn2 kg ha-1 (blanket dose) could be found suitable for yield maximization of mungbean in calcareous soils of Bangladesh.

“…However, with changes in the leaf area and its composition, boron poisoning may impair the rate of photosynthesis (Antonopoulou et al, 2017). The availability of boron in soil accelerates photosynthesis and boosts the synthesis of carbohydrates and its translocation from source to sink; consequently, entire morphological growth, including vegetative and reproductive, both benefited (Sharma andSharma, 2016 andQamar et al, 2016). However, the quantity of boron is needed more for the development of nodules than for other plant parts (Redondo-Nieto et al, 2003).…”

Rhizobium is a bacterial culture that enhances the speed of biological nitrogen fixation in association with root nodules in pulse crops while boron act as a catalyst for cell division hence the size of nodules and sugar translocation in the plant. An experiment was conducted by considering rhizobium as a seed inoculant and boron as a soil applicant in two peas (Pisum sativum L.) varieties Arkel and Azad Pea-3 to know the morphological alterations in plant height (cm), fresh and dry weight g plant-1), number of leaves (plant-1), and days required for the first flowering and picking. However, the biochemical triggers were also observed for soil plant analysis development reading (SPAD), total chlorophyll (mg g-1) and derivative (chlorophyll a and b), protein (mg g-1), and proline content (µg g-1) in both varieties of pea (Arkel and Azad Pea-3). The performance of V2 was superior to V1 for most of the morphological and biochemical parameters. The combination of rhizobium + 2.0 kg boron ha-1 (T5) was observed as the best treatment compared to the rest of the treatments in V1, while the rhizobium + 1.5 kg boron ha-1 (T4) in V2. Among the treatment combinations, T5 and T4 were recorded as minimum days for the first flowering (39.3 and 43.0), while the maximum days for the first picking (75 and 84) in V1 and V2. The highest SPAD reading, total chlorophyll, and protein were also noticed in T5 and T4, while chlorophyll a was recorded at maximum value in T4 for both varieties. However, the value of chlorophyll b was recorded as maximum in T4 and T3 at 50 DAS, while T5 and T4 were at 75 DAS. A trigger of proline content was also noticed in T5 and T4 of both varieties compared to the control set. The positive alteration in morphology and biochemical changes in pea plants due to the application of rhizobium in combination with boron interlink well for the betterment of yield via increasing the rate of photosynthesis.

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of boron (B) to obtain the highest growth, yield, and oil content of black sesame. A field experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with five treatments and five replications. Treatments included foliar application of B at five rates: control, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg L−1 at 25 and 35 days after sowing. Results showed that spraying B on leaves increased sesame growth in terms of plant height, number of leaves, and chlorophyll content. Moreover, spraying B increased yield components including the number of pods; the highest pods per plant was 46.2 in the B application treatment with 150 mg L−1 compared to the control with 27.2 pods per plant. The grain yield of the B spray treatment produced 1.10–1.32 t ha−1, with the highest yield at the dose of 150 mg L−1 and the lowest yield at no B spray treatment. Spraying B on leaves at optimal concentration also increased the oil content in seeds up to 5.3% compared to the control treatment. The findings of the study suggest that foliar B application with 150 mg L−1 increases the growth, fruit set, seed yield, and oil content in sesame.
