Effect of Boron on Some Industrial Crops: A Review

Micronutrients are required by the plants in small quantities, but they are very important for plant to compete life cycle with this the present experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Hagari, Ballari, Karnataka to evaluate the response of iron and boron on uptake of nutrients and soil nutrient status after harvest of safflower during two consecutive years 2020-21. The experiment consisted of seven treatments, includes T1: Absolute control, T2: RDF (40:40:12.5 kg NPK +30 kg Sulphur +15 kg ZnSO4 ha-1), T3: RDF + 15 kg FeSO4ha-1, T4: RDF + 1.0 kg Boron ha-1, T5: RDF + 15 kg FeSO4 ha-1+ 1.0 kg Boron ha-1, T6: RDF + 20 kg FeSO4 ha-1, T7: RDF + 1.5 kg Boron ha-1 and T8: RDF + 20 kg FeSO4 ha-1 +1.5 kg Boron ha-1 which replicated thrice in randomized complete block design. The results of the experiment revealed that the combined application of iron and boron i.e. 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) along with 20 kg iron per ha and 1.5 kg boron per ha (T8) recorded significantly higher uptake of N. P. K. Fe and B by safflower crop. The higher availability of soil nutrients N, K were recorded in control and P, Fe and B were in T8:RDF + 20 kg FeSO4 ha-1+1.5 kg Boron ha-1 treatments.

“…Among which, iron is necessary for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and cytochrome, besides the function of iron in the metabolism of chloroplast RNA, leading to increase in the biosynthesis materials and it acts as cofactor for approximately 140 enzymes that catalyse unique biochemical reactions [8]. Whereas boron is considered as one of the necessary elements for the growth of plants, it participates in the physiological process of pollination, fertilization and plant fruit setting [9]. By looking at the importance of iron and boron on growth, yield quality and also the information on Fe and B fertilization on yield, uptake and quality of safflower is meagre with this the present study was undertaken to study effect of application of iron and boron on growth, yield and quality of safflower under rainfed condition in Kalyan Karnataka, India.…”

The results of the experiment revealed that the combined application of iron and boron i.e. 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) along with 20 kg iron per ha and 1.5 kg boron per ha (T8) recorded significantly maximum plant height (117.0 cm), number of leaves per plant (94.3), number of primary branches per plant (14.1), number of secondary branches per plant (21.3), total dry matter production (2878 kg), number of capsules per plant (36.9), seed weight per head (0.94), thousand seed weight (68.5 g), and seed yield (15.96 q ). Further, the quality parameters such as protein (15.5 %) and oil content (28.8 %) were significantly enhanced in same treatment.
