e5“Boron fertilizer demonstration plots laid out at farmers' fields low in extractable B, in each district not only enhanced grain yields of wheat crop but also contributed a significant increase towards seed cotton yield of succeeding cotton crop through residual B effect”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Of 80 soil samples, 65 (81%) were low in available boron in the wheat-cotton fields.
- Observation Leaf boron concentrations of wheat were below the critical level (<10 mg B kg−1) in all tested samples.
- Observation Leaf boron concentrations of cotton were below the critical level (<30 mg B kg−1) in all tested samples.
- Association Plant total boron in wheat was strongly and positively related to soil extractable boron (R2 = 0.509, P<0.001).
- Association Plant total boron in cotton was strongly and positively related to soil extractable boron (R2 = 0.525, P<0.001).
- Association Extractable soil boron was linearly related to wheat grain yield (R2 = 0.76).
- Association Total boron in wheat leaves was linearly related to wheat grain yield (R2 = 0.42).
- Intervention effect Residual boron effect from the fertilizer significantly increased seed cotton yield of the succeeding cotton crop.
