Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Boron and phosphorus application significantly increased boron and phosphorus uptake by cauliflower plants.
- Intervention effect Boron and phosphorus application significantly increased available boron in soil.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus application significantly increased available phosphorus in soil after crop harvest.
- Intervention effect The highest curd yield and plant boron and phosphorus uptake were obtained with 1.3 kg boron plus 60 kg P2O5 ha-1.
- Intervention effect The highest available boron and phosphorus in soil after harvest were obtained with 1.3 kg boron plus 60 kg P2O5 ha-1.
- Intervention effect Plant boron uptake decreased with boron application above 1.3 kg boron ha-1.
- Intervention effect Plant phosphorus uptake increased with increasing phosphorus application up to 90 kg P2O5 ha-1.
- Association Curd yield, harvest index and plant boron uptake showed quadratic responses to applied boron.
- Association Plant phosphorus uptake showed a quadratic response to applied phosphorus.
- Association Curd yield and harvest index responded linearly to applied phosphorus.
- Association Curd yield was highly significantly and positively correlated with leaf boron content (r = 0.68**).
- Association Curd yield was highly significantly and positively correlated with plant phosphorus content (r = 0.79**).
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combined application of 1.3 kg boron and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 was best for cauliflower production under Paklihawa soil conditions of Rupandehi district and can be recommended to growers.
