Discussion

Field analysis reveals boron application enhances maize and sunflower yields, implying improved soil fertility.

Boron application significantly increased maize yield, suggesting effective nutrient management for better crop performance.
The optimal boron application rate of 1.0 kg ha-1 led to maximum grain yields of 7.55 t ha-1 for maize and 2.33 t ha-1 for sunflower.
Experimental methods included soil sampling and analysis of boron fractions to assess nutrient availability for crops.
Results indicate that only 1-2% of the total applied boron fertilizer is actually absorbed by crops, highlighting the need for efficient use.

Jegadeeswari et al. (2017) studied this question.
