“…It could also be assumed that other follow‐up crops with a higher B demand ( e.g ., dicot species) might benefit more from the residual B as actually observed in previous studies, where B applications to cabbage increased the B concentration and yield of both the cabbage (direct effect) as well as of the following bean crop (thus a residual effect; Gupta and Cutcliffe , 1984). Similar carry‐over effects of pre‐applied B have also been reported for wheat in Pakistan ( Khan et al, 2006, 2011) and for oil‐seed rape in rice‐based rotations in China ( Wang et al, 1997, 1999), cauliflower in Bangladesh ( Sarker et al, 2018), and rice in Malaysia ( Saleem et al, 2011) as well as for corn in Iran ( Aref , 2010).…”

Background: Diversified food crop production systems with high‐value vegetable crops are increasingly replacing conventional rice–wheat rotations across Nepal. These newly emerging systems are likely to enhance the demand for the micro‐nutrients boron (B) and zinc (Zn), which are already widely deficient throughout in Nepal. However, B and Zn fertilizers often are either unavailable in rural areas, not available in a timely manner, or when available not affordable by smallholder farmers. Aims: To overcome multiple constraints concerning the need and efficient use of B and Zn amendments in a technical feasible way with a high financial efficiency for farmers and without compromising the environment, the current study assessed whether soil stock provisioning, e.g., B and Zn fertilizer applications to dry season crops, may provide sufficient residual effects for the succeeding non‐fertilized wet season crop. Methods: A pot experiment was conducted in a sheltered greenhouse using two contrasting but representative soil types (Acrisol and Fluvisol) collected from rice‐ and from maize‐based production systems in Nepal. Boron and Zn amounts were supplied individually or in combination to wheat, cauliflower, and tomato grown in the dry season of 2018, whilst measuring biomass accumulation, B and Zn concentrations in plant tissues of all crops which allowed calculating B and Zn uptake in the unfertilized follow‐up crop of maize. Results: Soil‐applied B and Zn fertilizers, sole and combined, slightly enhanced biomass of the succeeding non‐fertilized maize only, but significantly increased total B and Zn plant uptake, with significant differences between soil types. Furthermore, while maize shoot B concentrations were consistently increased above the critical levels in both soils, but especially in the Fluvisol after wheat and cauliflower pre‐crops, Zn uptake of maize was more enhanced in the Acrisol. Conclusions: The residual effects of B and/or Zn applied to preceding dry season crops benefitted the subsequent wet season maize, especially after the pre‐crops wheat and cauliflower in the Fluvisol for B, and after wheat and tomato in the Acrisol for Zn. They may suffice to attain reasonable yields of wet season crops in the emerging vegetable‐based cropping systems of Nepal, even if fertilizers are not consistently available. The magnitude of the residual effects of pre‐applied Zn largely depended on the soil type, while those of B were mainly determined by the pre‐crop.

“…However, combined foliar application of 100 ppm of B and 50 ppm of Mo recorded the highest values of vegetative, yield and quality parameters. Similarly, several recent studies confirmed that application of B and Mo strongly affected the growth, yield and quality of cauliflower (Thapa et al, 2016;Hossain et al, 2018;Sarker et al, 2018, Hassan et al, 2018. Micronutrients deficiency often occur in plants grown in sandy soil and new reclaimed areas (Shaaban, 2010).…”

“…Cauliflower has a high micronutrients requirement, particularly B and Mo. Several previous studies reported that both B and Mo are important elements in attributes of cauliflower and broccoli productivity and quality (Thapa et al, 2015;Hassain et al, 2018;Sarker et al, 2018). Unfortunately, B and Mo deficiency has been reported very frequently in cauliflower and caused several anatomical, physiological, and biological changes, such as browning of curd and hollow stem as well as whiptail disorders, sword like leaves, malformation of growing tip and delaying curd formation (Mehrotra and Mishra, 1974;Shelp and Liu, 1992;Sharma, 2002).…”

Two field experiments were carried out during 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons, at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, New Valley University, New Valley governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of nitrogen levels (30, 45 and 60 kg/fed.) and micronutrients foliar application: control (B 0 + Mo 0), boron at 100 ppm (B 100), molybdenum at 50 ppm (Mo 50) and combined boron and molybdenum (B 100 + Mo 50) on cauliflower vegetative growth, yield, and quality parameters in the recently reclaimed areas, especially New Valley governorate as a promising area for agriculture expansion in Egypt. The results revealed that nearly all traits showed a gradual increment with increasing the nitrogen level; whereas the application of high level of nitrogen (60 kg/fed.) significantly increased vegetative growth, curd yield and curd quality of cauliflower and significantly decreased total phenols content and has no effect on number of days to maturity. Also, the results of this study reported promotional effects of either B or Mo foliar application on growth, yield and quality of cauliflower curds compared with untreated plants; nevertheless the combined application of B and Mo together was more effective than application of B or Mo when they separately applied. Moreover, inorganic nitrogen at 60 kg/fed. was more effective in the presence of B and Mo at 100 and 50 ppm, respectively, than the other combinations and achieved the highest curd yield with top quality.
