“Obtained results in this research showed that foliar application on boron as pre-harvest had significant effect on dry weight, texture, Prix index and B concentration of apple fruits (Sheikh Amir Variety). Highest amount of all characters was obtained in T2 (foliar application of boron) and minimum amount of these properties were recorded in control treatment.”
