Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Dehydrated calcium chloride at 0.3 per cent was the best treatment of apple, better than other treatments.
- Intervention effect Boron as boric acid at 0.15 per cent was statistically at par with solubar at similar concentration for apple yield parameters.
- Intervention effect Calcium and boron sprays raised apple yield by an average of 29.83 per cent over control.
- Intervention effect Calcium and boron sprays raised the share of A grade apples by 55.31 per cent over control.
- Recommendation Foliar sprays of calcium and boron on apple are recommended because they raise yield and quality and give higher economic returns.
