“…The increase in number of grains per cob might be due to reason that boron application improves the grain setting by improving the grain filling process and reducing the male sterility, often observed in boron deficient conditions. These results are reassuring to the conclusions made by Sultana et al (2015) and Ahmad et al (2000).…”

“…The increase in grains ear -1 is due to the reason that applications of boron improve the process of grain filling by improving the grain setting and thus reduce the male sterility which is often observed in deficient conditions of boron [35]. These results are reassuring with the findings of Sultana et al [37], who stated that boron in the case of foliar boron application at various stages, application at tasseling stage in 2021 and 2022 produced 10.25% and 11.11% lengthy ear respectively when compared with the control. The increase in ear length by the application of boron was due to its importance in cell division and expansion and also other physiological processes such as the conversion of sugar into starches which is necessary for ear length [35].…”

Balanced nutrition is the key to higher quality crop production. Micronutrients, especially boron (B) have an important role in various physiological processes and stress tolerance while its deficiency could affect the yield and quality of crop plants. In this context, this study investigated the significance of foliar B application at various growth stages on maize yield components, yield, and grain B content. The treatments consisted of boron foliar application levels (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) at different growth stages (V4 = fourth leaf stage, V8 = eighth leaf stage and VT = tasseling stage) during summer 2021 and 2022. The results revealed that plant height, leaf area plant -1 , leaf area index, plants at harvest, ear length, grains ear -1 , thousand grains weight, shelling percentage, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index were increased with 1 % B foliar spray compared to other levels. In addition, ear length, grains ear -1 , thousand grains weight, shelling percentage, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index were increased with B foliar application at VT (tasseling stage) compared to other stages. It was concluded that the application of 1% foliar boron (1.28 kg B ha -1 ) i.e. 7.32 kg H 3 BO 3 at tasseling stage improved growth, yield and yield components of maize.

“…Potassium (K) does not have consistent impact on carrot yield or quality . Boron (B) has been associated with increased total and marketable yields, due in part to the stronger cell wall pectin cross‐linkages formed by B than calcium (Ca), imparting greater resistance to fracture . However, B has also been negatively associated with total phenolics, ascorbic acid, carotenoids and antioxidant activity in carrot, but when not supplied results in an accumulation of P, K and sodium (Na) .…”

Effect of variety, soil fertility status and agronomic treatments on carrot mineral and phytochemical composition and consumer liking of flavor traits

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of variety (Nantes and Imperator), soil fertility status (high and low) and agronomic treatments on yield and quality traits of carrot composition and sensory factors. The treatments compared synthetic nitrogen at conventionally recommended amounts with compost-sourced nitrogen (high and low rates) and a range of amendments (compost, compost tea, micronutrients and foliar treatments). Additionally, we intended to identify factors affecting polyacetylene accumulation in carrots, owing to the growing interest in their health effects and paucity of agronomic information on their bioaccumulation in carrots.RESULTS: Imperator accumulated more minerals, produced more phytochemicals and had higher antioxidant capacity than Nantes, which had more carotenoids. However, consumers preferred the flavor of Nantes over Imperator. High-fertility soil produced carrots of superior nutritional quality than did low-fertility soil, regardless of year-of-application amendments, the effects of which were often variety-dependent. High soil biological activity was able to overcome low fertility status and stimulate greater yield. Carrot phosphorus was correlated with falcarindiol biosynthesis. Chlorogenic acid and falcarindiol were correlated with antioxidant capacity, but not falcarinol or total phenolic compounds. CONCLUSION: Carrots were not strongly affected by agronomic treatments in terms of yield or phytochemical status; however, soil biological activity overcame a soil nutrient deficit in terms of yield. Phenolic compounds and antioxidant status were generally higher in the high-fertility site, whereas polyacetylenes were variety-dependent. Chlorogenic acid and falcarindiol were associated with antioxidant capacity, but not total phenolic compounds and carotenoids. Sensory analysisCharacteristics of consumer liking were evaluated with both varieties of carrot from the synthetic and combined treatments of the HFS (2016 only). Ninety-two participants were recruited from J Sci Food Agric 2019; 99: 5457-5474
