- Intervention effect Under normal irrigation, boron spraying at booting stage gave the highest mean plant height of 99.42 and 98.32 cm in the two seasons, compared with other boron application times in wheat.
- Intervention effect Under normal irrigation, boron spraying at booting stage gave the highest mean spike length of 11.86 and 11.72 cm in the two seasons, compared with other boron application times in wheat.
- Intervention effect Under normal irrigation, boron spraying at booting stage gave the highest mean number of spikelets m −2 of 332.65 and 324.35 in the two seasons, compared with other boron application times in wheat.
- Intervention effect Under normal irrigation, boron spraying at booting stage gave the highest mean grain yield plant −1 of 21.56 and 20.26 g in the two seasons, compared with other boron application times in wheat.
- Intervention effect Under normal irrigation, boron spraying at booting stage gave the highest mean 1000-grain weight of 35.2 and 37.4 g in the two seasons, compared with other boron application times in wheat.
- Intervention effect Under normal irrigation, boron spraying at booting stage gave the highest mean grain yield of 1.87 and 1.85 ton fed. −1 in the two seasons, compared with other boron application times in wheat.
- Intervention effect Boron application significantly enhanced all studied growth traits of wheat under water stress compared with boron-untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Boron spraying at booting stage enhanced plant pigment contents of wheat, with highest means under normal water level.
- Intervention effect Boron spraying reduced the stress markers proline and H2O2 in wheat under water stress.
- Intervention effect Boron spraying enhanced plant pigment content in wheat under water stress.
- Recommendation Booting stage is the best time for boron application to obtain higher grain production in wheat.
