“…Bhat et al [8] also reported about the increased yield of cole crops by the addition of B to the soil. Different other scientists also concluded about the importance of boron fertilization, particularly in case of cauliflower curd production [6,29,30]. Considering the overall results, the better performance of vermicompost in cauliflower production can be concluded.…”

Application of vermicompost is considered to be a good option to safe supply of micronutrients for crop production. Again, the quality of vermicompost varied with the earthworm species and their feeding materials used. A study was conducted to find out the variable roles of vermicomposts produced from various sources to meet the Zn and B requirement of cauliflower grown on a nutrient-deficient light-textured soil. Six treatment combinations including one control treatment and one treatment having 100% chemical sources of Zn-B (3 kg Zn ha -1 ? 2 kg B ha -1 ) were tested.

“…Slight variation in the recommended dose of B, crops may face either deficiency or toxicity in a single growing season (Batabyal et al, 2015). Therefore, optimized B fertilizer supply in B deficient soils is important in order to normal growth, yields and quality of produce due to very narrow range of B deficiency and toxicity in soils and plants (Singh and Goswami, 2013).…”

The deficiency of boron is spreading rapidly in Indian soils. Boron deficiency in crops is more widespread than deficiency of any other essential micronutrient. However, imbalanced or excess use of boron fertilizers found to impose negative impact on crops due to very narrow range of boron deficiency and toxicity in soil and plants which increases production cost also. Therefore, optimized boron fertilizer supply in boron deficient soils is important in order to attain normal crop growth, yield and high-quality produce. It this review the role of boron in crop production, its deficiency in crop plants has been discussed.

“…botrytis L. 2n=18) one of extensively grown winter vegetable crop of Crucifereae family has registered a pride place in India owing to its flavour, nutrition and delicious taste. The edible portion called curd constitutes roughly 45 per cent of the entire plant [1,2]. It was originated in Cyprus and around Mediterranean coast and developed from wild cabbage, with the genus Brassica oleracea var.…”

A field experiment on Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) was conducted to study the different form of Boron deficiency which in terms will increase yield of Cauliflower in red and lateritic soils during 2011-12 at Kapgari village of Seva Bharati Krishi Vigyan Kendra at West Midnapore district of West Bengal. The design adopted was Randomised Block Design (RBD) having ten replications with four treatments. The different forms of boron treated cauliflower plants attributed higher yields over control. Among different treatments evaluated, the treatment T3 i.e. FYM @ 10 t/ha + Boric acid (20% Boron) @ 0.3% as foliar spray after one month of planting showed better yield (91% fresh curd harvested) and quality in respect to curd size (24 cm) and weight (2.70 kg) followed marginally by T4 i.e. FYM @ 10 t/ha + Total B2O (liquid Boron - 20% Boron) @ 1.5 g/L of water as foliar spray after one month of planting in all aspects followed by T1 i.e. Farmyard manure @ 10 t/ha as basal dose and T2 i.e. FYM @ 10 t/ha+ Borax @ 15 kg/ha as basal dose respectively. Treatment T3 also achieved 13.41%, 51.66% and 139.47% more fresh curds as compared to T4, T2 and T1 respectively. Treatment T4 showed improved performance (82% fresh curd) after T3 which achieve economic thresh level over T2 (60% fresh curd) and T1 (38% fresh curd) respectively. Lower curd size recorded with T1 (16 cm) followed by T2 (18 cm) and T4 (20 cm). T3 recorded highest weight of the curd (2.7 kg) as compared to T1 (1.25 kg), T2 (1.5 kg) and T4 (2.0 kg). Highest available form of boron in the soil is found in T3 (37.50 ppm) followed by T4 (35.0 ppm), T2 (30.62 ppm) and T1 (27.4 ppm) respectively. It is clearly understood that Treatment T3 i.e. FYM @ 10 t/ha + Boric acid (20% B) @ 0.3% as foliar spray after one month of planting emerged out to be the best treatment in respect to yield, curd size and weight of curd.
