“…Boron is a microelement that is involved in the pathway of structural proteins important for many growth processes [9].Root and shoot growth, as well as plant development, are all influenced by it. This nutrient is hard to be lifted up from and plants need it to accomplish their life cycle.Boron may be obtained from a variety of sources, including boric acid, which can be rapidly dissolved in soils and which are readily accessible for plant metabolism [10].…”

An investigation was conducted in the vegetable field division of the College of Agriculture and Forestry’s Horticulture and Landscape Design at the University of Mosul throughout the spring growing season of 2023. The experimental design comprised two components. The initial component involved applying zinc sulphate sprays to the vegetative growth at three different concentrations (0, 1500, and 3000 mg l-1). The subsequent component involved applying boric acid sprays to the vegetative growth at three different concentrations (0, 200, and 400 mg l-1). The experiment was replicated three times, and at a 5% level of probability, the means were compared using Duncan’s multiple range test. The field experiment was conducted utilising a factorial design with a Randomised complete block design (RCBD). Plants subjected to treatment with zinc sulphate at a concentration of 1500 mg l-1 exhibited a substantial increase in the majority of the traits under investigation. Similarly, plants sprayed with boric acid at a concentration of 400 mg l-1 demonstrated a significant increase in the majority of the traits under study.

“…Boron is globally recognised as a critical/essential nutrient for cotton production, and cotton, owing to higher boron requirements, is especially vulnerable to boron paucity (Shorrocks 1992). Boron availability, particularly during pollen germination/formation, blooming and boll formation stages, has been documented amongst most crucial factor in augmenting crop productivity (Rashidi et al, 2011;Sharma et al, 2019). The genetic makeup of cotton plants regulates fiber traits (Hearn 1981), but growing conditions determine whether the quality of fiber reaches the genetic potential (Yeates et al, 2010).…”

Aim: To investigate that application of boron (0-2.5 mg kg-1 soil, as borax and granubor) to calcareous soil in North-western India affectes its solubility in soil, yield and fibre quality characters of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Methodology: A field study was conducted to estimate and enumerate the influence of B application (as borax and granubor @ 0-2.5 mg B kg-1 soil; B0-B2.5) on cotton yield and yield contributing attributes ascribed to change in different fractions of variable solubility in B deficient (available B=0.21 mg kg-1) calcareous sandy loam soil. This field experiment was set up in a plot size of 2.7m X 3.75 m with three replications arranged in RBD in factorial combinations. Results: Mean lint and cotton seed yield increased significantly under B1.0, compared with control (B0). Boron concentration in roots, leaves, petioles, bolls, sympodial and monopodial branches, seeds and lint increased significantly (p<0.05) with 1.0 mg B kg-1 application (B1.0). Boron application (B2.0) significantly augmented the mean uniformity ratio by ~4.8%, compared with B0, while the fibre strength and staple length increased significantly in B1.5 treatment. The micronaire value of lint decreased significantly from 4.84 (in B0) to 4.25 µg inch-1 in B2.5 treated plots. Boron application caused notable augmentation in B concentration in its reservoirs/pools of variable solubility; oxide bound fraction being smallest (~0.34% of total B), while residual B the largest fraction (~95% of total B). Boron sources had meagre affect and did not vary remarkably for B concentration in different vegetative plant parts, cotton yield and contributing attributes and B fractions of variable solubility in calcareous soil. Interpretation: The findings of study divulged that soil applied B significantly augmented cotton yield and its yield contributing attributes owing to augmented solubility of B in a calcareous soil. Different B fractions evinced a significant (p<0.05) relationship with yield attributes, indicating their significance for increased B uptake which impacts the seed cotton yield in a calcareous soil. These experimental outcomes highlight the overwhelming significance of soil application of B for increased cotton productivity with improved fibre quality.

The northeastern part of China is a traditional sugar beet cultivation area where the soils are classified generally as the black and albic soil types with low boron (B) availability. Boron fertilizer can increase soil B content and significantly improve crop yield and quality. At present, the effects of slow-release B fertilizer on beet root yield and quality remain unclear. Two sugar beet varieties KWS1197 and KWS0143 were selected as the research materials; and biologically evaluated with three dosage rates of 0, 15, and 30 kg ha-1 in two soil types. Results showed that slow-release B fertilizer (30 kg ha-1) improved sugar beet net photosynthetic rate (13.6%) and transpiration rate (9.8%), as well as enhanced dry matter accumulation and the transfer to underground parts (23.1%) for higher root yield (1.4 to 9.7% in black soil and 3.5-14.2% in albic soil). Specifically, boron fertilizer greatly increased root B accumulation, as evidenced by decreasing amino N and Na contents alongside increasing surose (Pol) content. Slow-release B fertilizer increased white sugar yield by 3.5 to 35.7% in black soil and 5.8 to 20.8% in albic soil. In conclusion, applying slow-release B fertilizer is an effective strategy to increase sugar beet yield and quality in northeast China, with a recommended application rate of 30 kg ha-1. These findings established a baseline for formulating effective and futristic fertilizer for sugar beet.
