- Intervention effect Boron deficiency reduced cotton yield by 11% compared with 2 kg ha −1 B.
- Intervention effect Boron deficiency reduced cotton yield by 9% compared with 4 kg ha −1 B.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased plant yield by 5% with 2 kg ha −1 B.
- Intervention effect Boron dose did not influence fiber length and elongation.
- Intervention effect Silicon did not influence fiber length and elongation.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased fiber breaking strength by 5%.
- Intervention effect Boron deficiency did not influence fiber breaking strength.
- Intervention effect Micronaire was 8% smaller with 0 kg ha −1 B.
- Intervention effect Micronaire was 6% smaller without silicon.
- Intervention effect Short fiber index was 4% greater with 0 kg ha −1 B.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that soil boron and foliar silicon together benefit cotton yield and fiber quality.
