e1“A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of foliar application of 37 grams of boron (B) per acre (91.4 g ha-1) on quality and quantity of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)”
e3“The foliar application of B resulted in improvement of seed cotton yield (48-124%), ginning outturn (7.2-10.2%), staple length (1.4-10.1%) and micronaire (7.4-32.8%)”
e4“were sown at Cotton Research Station, Vehari during 2006-07”
