RESPONSE OF TWO RICE VARIETIES VIZ., KHUSHBOO-95 AND MEHAK TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BORON
Abstract
Boron is the deficient micronutrient in the soils of Pakistan. Boron (B) deficiency is wide spread in rice growing areas of Pakistan. Low and very high soil B depress grain yield of cereals. A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of B on the yield and yield components of rice genotypes. Two rice varieties viz., Khushboo-95 and Mehak were grown in field with four B levels 0, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 kg ha-1. The application of boron at 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 kg ha-1 enhanced the paddy yield of Khushboo-95 by 9
