Title
Interactive Effect of Nitrogen and Boron on Cotton Yield and Fiber Quality
Özgül Görmüş DergiPark (Istanbul University) 2005
Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Leaf nitrogen and boron concentrations were sufficient before nutrient application.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron significantly increased cotton leaf blade boron concentration in both years.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron sprays significantly increased boll number.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron sprays significantly increased boll weight.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron sprays significantly increased lint yield.
- Intervention effect Applying 1.12 kg ha-1 boron and 160 kg ha-1 nitrogen produced the highest boll number.
- Intervention effect Boron increased boll weight from 5.93 to 6.92 g boll-1 in 2003.
- Intervention effect Boron increased boll bearing from 15.9 to 18.5 bolls per plant in 2003.
- Intervention effect Boron application increased crop yield 15.5% over the control.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen treatment had no significant effect on fiber properties.
- Intervention effect Boron treatment had no significant effect on fiber properties.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that cotton needed supplemental boron on low boron soil.
