“…The overall effect of both plant growth regulator and plant-plant spacing was also not significant. These results matched with the observations of Maity et al, who observed the effect of foliar spray on pomegranate cultivars, which resulted in increased seed oil content [16].…”

A field experiment was managed at the Water Management Research Farm, Renala Khurd, Pakistan to check the effect of the plant to plant spacing (3×3, 5×5, 7×7) and growth regulator (Isabion) on the quantity and quality of citrus fruit (Mosambi) under drip irrigation. The trail was arranged into a split-plot outline with six treatments under three blocks. Two foliar sprays were carried out at 40 days gap in September and November 2020. After 4 to 5 days of second foliar spray, data were collected. The results revealed that plant growth regulator isabion was more effective in improving plant traits like no. of fruits and leaf area in mosambi and plant to plant spacing only improved one plant trait, plant height. However, fruit weight was not affected by both plant to plant spacing and growth regulator treatments compared to control. The fruit quality analysis results showed that carbohydrate, vitamin, moisture and fat contents of mosambi fruits were increased by both plant to plant spacing and growth regulator treatments, while the increase in protein content was not found. In our study, plant growth regulator appeared to be more effective for improving plant traits while fruit traits were equally affected by both plant-plant spacing and growth regulator. In the future, both plant to plant spacing and growth regulator should be considered to improve citrus plant growth and fruit yield.

“…Boron acts in the biosynthesis of the cell wall, assisting Ca in the deposition of pectates that will be part of these structures, in addition to composing cis-diol-borate complexes, which make up the plasmalemma (Prado, 2021). When performing its biological functions, the benefits of B for plants growth become clear, as verified in multiple crops (Prado et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2016;Maity et al, 2021).…”

10Boron Is Mobile in Cowpea Plants

et al. 2021

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, but its production is usually limited by boron (B) deficiency, which can be mitigated by applying B via foliar spraying. In plants with nutrient mobility, the residual effect of foliar fertilization increases, which might improve its efficiency. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the concentration and mobility of the B isotopic tracer (10B) in different organs of cowpea plants, after the application of this micronutrient in the growing media and also to leaves. Treatments were designed based on B fertilization as follows: without B in the growth media, with 10B applied via foliar spraying (10B-L), with B in the growth media (substrate) and 10B via foliar spraying (10B-L + B-S), and with 10B in the growth media (substrate) without foliar spraying (10B-S), and a control without fertilization. A redistribution of 10B was observed in new leaves when the element was supplied via foliar spraying, resulting in greater leaf area, dry mass and dry matter production of aerial parts, and also the whole plant. 10Boron was redistributed when applied via foliar spraying in cowpea plants, regardless of the plant's nutritional status, which in turn might increase internal B cycling.

Foliar application is a popular technique to supply mineral nutrients to crops. It also enhances nutrient use efficiencies, especially under limited soil fertility or restricted environmental conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of foliar application of phosphorus (P) with potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) on the nutrient uptake, yield, and fruit quality of pomelo. The experiments were conducted between 2018 and 2021 in three different sites of alluvial soils, including four treatments, namely, control (without foliar fertilization), FF1 (containing P, K, and Mg), FF2 (P, K, Mg, and Zn), and FF3 (Zn). The results indicated that the P, K, and Mg concentrations in leaves and fruits were significantly enhanced after the spraying of solutions FF1 and FF2 compared with the control and FF3. The application of FF1 and FF2 greatly improved the fruit quality, and the fruit yield response was as high as 4.0-5.0 t ha−1. Foliar Zn application (FF3) increased the Zn concentration in leaves, but there was no improvement in fruit Zn content, fruit quality, and yield compared to the control treatment. The results indicate that FF1 or FF2 could be used as a sustainable fertilizer strategy for pomelo trees because of its ability to improve the leaf and fruit nutrient concentration and enhance the fruit quality and productivity of pomelo.
