e0“Two field experiments were performed at El-Baramon, Experimental Station, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during the successive seasons of 2007 and 2008 to study the effect of boron foliar nutrition and different combinations of mineral and organic nitrogen fertilization on growth, chemical composition and yield of sweet pepper cv. California wonder”
e2“The highest significant values of A, B, total chlorophyll and carotene as well as N, P, K and Ca contents in sweet pepper plant leaves were obtained with foliar addition of boron at 100 ppm and fertilization with 75% mineral nitrogen + 25% organic nitrogen”
