“…Combined application of manures has been shown to be superior in all growth and yield parameters as plants take nutrients from both jeevamruth and panchgavya from the soil and foliage, respectively. It has been revealed that the foliar spray in plants can act as an excellent approach to accelerate plants growth and development because plants absorb nutrients more e ciently through leaves due to the presence of plant pores (stomata) than through the root system; however, the right concentration and the application frequency are crucial for addressing and resolving the nutritional de ciency in plants (Wahid et al 2020). As a consequence, foliar feeding can assist for linear increment in fruits diameter and mesocarp size, increase the fruits weight, total soluble solids, and rmness in fruits compared to fertigation method (Naidu et al 2013).…”

In the study, liquid manures (panchgavya and jeevamruth) having concentrations 0% (control), 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% were prepared by using the products obtained from indigenous cow and then applied in three different formats twice a month up to 3 months in both fields and pot plants. In the first format, panchgavya was applied directly to the root zone. In the second format, jeevamruth was also applied to the root zone. Likewise, in the third format, panchgavya was sprayed uniformly on the foliage, but jeevamruth was given to the root zone of the same plant with irrigating water. After that, growth and development parameters of plants were taken precisely at 30, 45, 75, 90 and 105 days after transplantation, and found that significant differences were noticed in terms of growth, flowering and fruiting between pots and field plants. It was noted that these parameters were superior in those plants that were grown in the field than that of pots plants at 5% and 6% in all three different combinations. Among three formats, the combined application of panchgavya and jeevamruth was found to have magnificent results, followed by solely applications of panchgavya and jeevamruth. The study aimed to evaluate and compare the beneficial effect of panchgavya and jeevamruth in organic agriculture by using different formats in both pots and the field environment.

“…Boron (B) foliar spraying is a common practice performed by cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) growers in different regions worldwide due to B deficiency in different soils [ 1 – 3 ]. However, the difference between the adequate boron concentration and toxicity is small [ 1 , 4 , 5 ] and the toxic effect of this element can be verified in cotton plants when it is applied at high concentrations to leaves [ 3 ]. During the reproductive stage, plants have a higher B requirement compared to the vegetative stage [ 6 ], as in this stage, during the formation of pollen grains, pectins are used to form the cell wall and, in case of B deficiency, the rigidity of the cell wall is compromised [ 7 ].…”

Addition of silicon to boron foliar spray in cotton plants modulates the antioxidative system attenuating boron deficiency and toxicity

et al. 2022

Background Boron (B) nutritional disorders, either deficiency or toxicity, may lead to an increase in reactive oxygen species production, causing damage to cells. Oxidative damage in leaves can be attenuated by supplying silicon (Si). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of increasing foliar B accumulation on cotton plants to determine whether adding Si to the spray solution promotes gains to correct deficiency and toxicity of this micronutrient by decreasing oxidative stress via synthetizing proline and glycine-betaine, thereby raising dry matter production. Results B deficiency or toxicity increased H2O2 and MDA leaf concentration in cotton plants. H2O2 and MDA leaf concentration declined, with quadratic adjustment, as a function of increased leaf B accumulation. Proline and glycine-betaine leaf concentration increased under B-deficiency and B-toxicity. In addition, production of these nonenzymatic antioxidant compounds was greater in plants under toxicity, in relation to deficient plants. Adding Si to the B spray solution reduced H2O2 and MDA concentration in the plants under nutrient deficiency or toxicity. Si reduced H2O2, primarily in B-deficient plants. Si also increased proline and glycine-betaine concentration, mainly in plants under B toxicity. Dry matter production of B-deficient cotton plants increased up to an application of 1.2 g L− 1 of B. The critical B level in the spray solution for deficiency and toxicity was observed at a concentration of 0.5 and 1.9 g L− 1 of B, respectively, in the presence of Si, and 0.4 and 1.9 g L− 1 of B without it. In addition, the presence of Si in the B solution raised dry matter production in all B concentrations evaluated in this study. Conclusion Our findings demonstrated that adding Si to a B solution is important in the foliar spraying of cotton plants because it increases proline and glycine-betaine production and reduces H2O2 and MDA concentration, in addition to mitigating the oxidative stress in cotton plants under B deficiency or toxicity.
