Boron Content in Different Plant Parts of Soybean as Influenced by Boron Application

The investigation entitled “Boron content in different plant parts of Soybean as influenced by Boron application” was carried out during Kharif season (2016) on Soybean variety JS-97-52 to study the partitioning of boron in soybean as affected by periodicity and levels of boron application. Field experiment carried out at Research Farm, JNKVV, Jabalpur with soybean variety JS 97-52 was laid in split plot design with three main treatments of periodicity (single year, alternate year and each of year B application) and five sub treatments of levels of Boron application (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg B ha-1) along with recommended dose of NPK. Treatments were replicated thrice under optimum agronomic management practices. Boron content in leaf, stem and root at different days interval was significantly affected by Boron application and found maximum under 2.0 kg B ha-1 treatment. Significant change in content of Boron in pod, seed and stover due to Boron application was found with the highest content under 2.0 kg B ha-1 treatment which was at par with that under 1.5 kg B ha-1 treatment while the interaction effects were found non significant.
