Intervention effect Boron nutrition at all levels and methods of application significantly affected growth, physiological, yield and fibre quality traits of both cotton cultivars.
Intervention effect SB2 alone or with foliar spray showed superiority over other treatments, particularly in the non-Bt cultivar.
Intervention effect SB2 gave a maximum 345% improvement in monopodial branches in the non-Bt cultivar compared with control.
Intervention effect SB2 gave a maximum 143% improvement in sympodial branches in the non-Bt cultivar compared with control.
Intervention effect SB2 gave a maximum 177% improvement in chlorophyll-a in the non-Bt cultivar compared with control.
Intervention effect SB2 gave a maximum 194% improvement in chlorophyll-b in the non-Bt cultivar compared with control.
Intervention effect SB2 gave a maximum 169% improvement in photosynthesis in the non-Bt cultivar compared with control.
Intervention effect SB2 gave a maximum 579% improvement in ginning out turn in the non-Bt cultivar compared with control.
Intervention effect In the Bt cultivar, integrated SB3 with foliar spray performed relatively better for cotton growth than other treatments, with no consistent trend.
Recommendation B nutrition with SB2, alone or with foliar spray, is recommended for improving cotton growth and yield characteristics.
