Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of boron (B) microfertilizer on fruit set and yield of Cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentumvar. cerasiforme). The experiment was carried out at Binh Duong Campus, Ho Chi Minh City OpenUniversity, from October 2014 to May 2015. The experiment was carried out under randomized complete block design (RCBD) and five replicates. The treatments were comprised of four levels of foliar application of boric acid (1, 2, 3, 4 g/L) and control (water foliar application). Plants were sprayed 3 times at full bloom and other two were given at an interval of 7 days. The results showed that foliar application of boric acid at concentration of 3 g/L or 4 g/L gave the best result in increasing percentage of fruit set, total fruits per plant and plant yield. No significant differences were observed in flesh thickness and total soluble solids (TSS) between the treatments and the control.
