“…Rice yield responded to B application due to its positive effect on the number of tillers, panicles, weight of grain and filled grains. These results suggests that B addition improves seed setting due to its major role in many plant physiological functions such as it promotes cell growth and development of the rice panicle (Garg et al, 1979). These findings are consistent with those of Rashid et al (2002) and Dunn et al (2005).…”

Boron insufficiency in the agricultural soils is common and wide spread problem in many regions of the world. The effectiveness of crushed ore colemanite as B sources for rice crop under flooded calcareous soil were evaluated in a glass house study. We studied the effects of powder colemanite (PC) and granular colemanite (GC) in comparison with the refined sodium pentaborate fertilizer at the rates of 0, 1, 2, and 3 kg B ha -1 on growth and yield parameters of rice crop as well as the true control (0 kg B ha -1 ). Sodium pentaborate (SP) and (PC) application of 2 and 3 kg B ha -1 significantly increased the plant height, number of tillers and panicles per plant, number of grains per panicle, weight of 1000 grains and B concentration in grain compared the 0 and 1 kg B ha -1 . Rice crop with SP and PC applied at 3 kg B ha -1 produced significantly (18% over the control) higher grain yield than the 0 kg B ha -1 treatment. Pots fertilized with SP and PC produced similar results as grain yield difference between them was not significant so these B fertilizers were very effective in supplying B to rice crop, but GC applied pots produced significantly low yield because of its bigger particle size, due to which B was not released from fertilizer. This study proved that colemanite with smaller particle size is an effective B source and it is cheaper than refined products so it should be applied for harvesting higher yields.

“…B was also found to affect fertilization. Garg et al (1979) observed a decrease in grain number per ear in B-deficient rice plants. In B-deficient barley, a total lack of fertilization was also observed (Simojoki 1972).…”

“…Under well nitrogen availability, boron has good impact on better development of pollens, pollen germination, anther viability, anthesis, cell division, enhanced enzymatic activity and more availability of sugars (Garge et al, 1979), end resulted in production of more seeds. Transport of photo-assimilates towards achenes was triggered rapidly with nitrogen and boron nutrition management.…”

Among biotic and abiotic factors, imbalanced plant nutrition is more indispensable for low sunflower productivity. To assess the interaction behavior of nitrogen with boron on sunflower growth, yield and its oil quality in alkaline-calcareous soils, a field experiment was conducted for two consecutive growing seasons of 2011 and 2012. Sunflower hybrid (Helianthus annuus 'Hysun-33') was grown on sandy clay loam soil that was amended with diverse boron rates of 0, 2, 4, and 6 kg ha -1 under variable nitrogen levels of 50% RN, 75% RN, and 100% RN 'recommended nitrogen'. Extended duration of phenophases like 50% inflorescence emergence, 50% flowering and 50% maturity stages of sunflower was observed with nitrogen and boron application. Plant height, stem and head diameters were increased significantly through individual use of nitrogen and boron nutrients. Concerning sunflower yield and yield related attributes as number of achenes/head, 1000-achene weight and achene yield were significantly improved with 2.0 kg ha -1 boron rate with 100% RN. Application of nitrogen and boron considerably declined the achene oil contents. Achene protein contents were found maximum with boron rate of 2.0 kg ha -1 under 100% RN nutrition. Significant decline in stearic acid and oleic acid contents while considerable increase in palmitic acid and linoleic acid contents was recorded by individual use of nitrogen and boron supplements. However, boron application in combination with nitrogen could play a vital role to improve the productivity and economic performance of sunflower in calcareous soils.
