- Intervention effect Foliar boron at 0.30 kg/ha increased plant height, leaf area and stem diameter of maize.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron at 0.30 kg/ha increased cob weight and number of grains per cob of maize.
- Intervention effect The maximum grain yield of maize (7.14 tons/ha) was recorded with boron at 0.30 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect The maximum biological yield of maize (527.4 tons/ha) was recorded with boron at 0.30 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Further increase in boron dose decreased maize yields.
