- Intervention effect Boron at 200-400ng mL improved rice tillering and shoot and root length and weight in solution culture with or without NaCl.
- Intervention effect Boron supplied to saline medium decreased shoot Na and Cl.
- Intervention effect Boron improved paddy and straw yield and paddy: straw ratio compared with control.
- Intervention effect The greatest improvement was at 1.5kg B ha in saline and saline sodic soils.
- Intervention effect Boron at 6 kg B ha adversely affected paddy and straw production in saline sodic soils across the three cultivars.
- Intervention effect External boron improved seed setting in all three cultivars in saline and saline sodic soils.
