Effects of foliar fertilization with boron depending on soil moisture and reaction during vegetation period
Stanisław Wróbel
Abstract
An effect of boron foliar application on spring wheat development and yielding was studied in a three years’ two factor vegetative experiments. A light available borondeficient soil was used in the study. Boron availability limitation (simulated drought period and liming) was the first-rate factor, while doses of boron in foliar fertilization made the secondrate factor. It was demonstrated that foliar application of boron was effective in mollifying the unfavourable wheat growth conditions (drought) and uptake of nutrients (soil reaction change). The fertilization alleviated the results of the limited availability of boron, significantly increasing the grain and straw yield mass and enriching the yields with boron.
