Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Soil-applied B produced greater tomato fruit yield than twice foliar spray of 0.25% boric acid.
- Intervention effect Tomato fruit yield was improved by 2-12% over control by soil-applied B at 2.0 kg B ha-1 through borax and by twice foliar spray of B.
- Intervention effect Irrespective of genotypes, B content in tomato fruit and shoot improved upon B application.
- Observation B use efficiencies were highest in tomato cultivar NS-812 in B-deficient calcareous soils with twice foliar spray of 0.25% boric acid.
- Observation B use efficiencies in tomato cultivar NS-512 were second highest, following NS-812, in B-deficient calcareous soils with twice foliar spray of 0.25% boric acid.
- Observation B use efficiencies in tomato genotype B-9-2 were among the highest, following NS-812, in B-deficient calcareous soils with twice foliar spray of 0.25% boric acid.
- Recommendation The authors suggest these genotypes could be promising lines for breeding programs for B enrichment in tomato for cultivation in B-deficient soils.
