- Intervention effect Boron application increased broccoli micronutrient uptake relative to control.
- Intervention effect Boron application improved economic efficiencies.
- Intervention effect Boron application improved energy efficiencies.
- Intervention effect Soil plus foliar boron application yielded 6.30% more broccoli heads than foliar application alone.
- Observation A 0.3% boric acid foliar spray at the specified stages mainly influenced crop yield.
