Abstract:
A pot culture experiment was conducted to explore the effect of boron on morphological, physiological and biochemical changes of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) in laterite soil during zadi, 2018 at AICRP on Micronutrients, department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, OUAT, Bhubaneswar. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Completely Randomised block design with two factors (5 Soil types and 5 boron doses) and with 25 treatments replicated twice. It was observed that the growth increased significantly with the increase in boron dose. The uptake of calcium and magnesium as well as the carbohydrate and protein content within the plant was enhanced with the application of boron.
