Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Foliar boron applied at V4–V6 at 2.24 kg·ha−1 gave higher corn yields than VT applications.
- Intervention effect Boron applied at different timings at 0.56 and 1.12 kg·ha−1 did not change corn yield.
- Intervention effect Boron applied at V4–V6 at 2.24 kg·ha−1 increased corn yield by 0.29 Mg·ha−1 compared with the non-treated control.
- Intervention effect Boron applied at VT increased ear leaf tissue B concentration compared with V4–V6 applications and the non-treated control.
- Intervention effect Boron applied at VT had no significant effect on corn yields.
- Intervention effect B treatments did not change starch or extractable starch concentration.
- Intervention effect B treatments did not change the severity of anthracnose stalk rot or common rust.
- Intervention effect B treatments did not change ear tip fill.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron at 2.24 kg·ha−1 at V4–V6 decreased the severity of gray leaf spot compared with the non-treated control.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron at 2.24 kg·ha−1 at V4–V6 increased the severity of northern leaf blight compared with the non-treated control.
- Recommendation Boron applied at V4–V6 at 2.24 kg·ha−1 is the most beneficial timing and concentration evaluated in these fine textured soils.
