“…Thus, the involvement of these micronutrients in different physiological and biochemical processes resulted in improved achene yield in this study. Several other studies have reported that individual or combined application of micronutrients improved the performance of sunflower under optimal and sub-optimal conditions (Al-Doori and Al-Dulaimy, 2012;da Silva et al, 2016;Steiner and Zoz, 2015;Hlisnikovský et al, 2016;Kumbhar et al, 2017;Khalid et al, 2018) as observed in this study.…”

The deficiency of micronutrients is one of the main reason for low seed yield in oilseed crops in many developing countries including Pakistan. Therefore, this two-year field study was conducted to assess the influence of foliage applied micronutrients (individual/or in combination) on the yield and quality of sunflower hybrids. For this study, we hypothesized that foliage application of micronutrients will improve achene yield, oil quality and net returns in sunflower hybrids. The results indicated that sunflower hybrid 'Parsun' produced the higher head diameter, and had more 1000-achene weight, achene yield, oil content, stearic acid, palmitic acid and linolenic acid as compared to 'FMC-1'. Likewise the tallest plants, greater number of leaves, maximum seed weight, the highest achene yield, and oil content were noted with the combined application of Zn+B. Highest achene yield with combined application of Zn+B also resulted in highest net income. The application of micronutrient also improved the oil content and oil quality. In conclusion, the hybrid 'Parsun' should be grown with the application of Zn+B (10 and 2 kg ha -1 respectively) to achieve higher achene yield, better seed quality and to earn higher net benefits in sunflower hybrids under arid climate of Layyah Punjab, Pakistan.

Nutrients are known to limit productivity of plant communities around the world. In the Brazilian Cerrado, indirect evidences point to phosphorus as the main limiting nutrient, but some fertilization experiments suggest that one or more micronutrients might play this role. Boron is one of the essential micronutrients for plants. Agronomically, it received some attention, but it has mostly been neglected in ecological studies assessing the effects of nutrients on plant growth. Through field fertilization and mesocosm experiments in a degraded area in the Cerrado, we show that boron addition increased biomass production of herbaceous vegetation. This could be related to a lower aluminum uptake in the boron fertilized plants. Even considering that plant growth was promoted by boron addition due to aluminum toxicity alleviation, this is the first study reporting boron limitation in natural, noncultivated plant communities and also the first report of this kind in vegetative grasses. These results contribute to disentangling patterns of nutrient limitation among plant species of the species‐rich, aluminum‐rich, and nutrient‐poor Cerrado biome and highlight the potential role of micronutrients, such as boron, for growth of noncrop plants. Understanding how nutrient limitation differs among functional groups in the highly biodiverse areas founded on ancient tropical soils may help managing these plant communities in a changing world.

“…The Aditya variety had a better yield at the 2.32 kg ha -1 dose of B (Bhattacharyya et al, 2015). The cultivar M734, though, had the highest yield when submitted to 6.29 kg ha -1 of B (Silva et al, 2016).…”

The sunflower [Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae)] is an annual dicotyledon, and its seeds can be used for animal and human consumption, for extracting fixed oil and for producing biodiesel. This plant is sensitive to boron (B) deficiency, with the scarcity of this micronutrient leading to lesions in the leaves and stem of the sunflower, causing the collapse of the capitulum and decreased photosynthesis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the development and the productive response of the sunflower genotypes BRS 321 and BRS 323, subjected to four doses of B (0, 1, 2 and 4 kg ha -1 ). The experimental design was in randomized blocks with three replicates and 8 treatments. Plant height, plant diameter , capitulum diameter, number of leaves, weight of 1000 achenes, grain yield, fixed oil content and oil yield were all evaluated. Doses greater than 1 kg ha -1 of B caused toxicity symptoms in the vegetative phase in the BRS 321 genotype, however, the 4 kg ha -1 dose of B promoted productive gains to this same genotype. The BRS 323 genotype was more productive in grain and fixed oil than the BRS 321 genotype, regardless of the B doses. In order to avoid phytotoxicity, applications of B to the BRS 321 genotype are recommended.
