SIGNIFICANCE OF BORON IN THE METABOLISM OF COTTON PLANT

Cotton plants were sprayed with 0·125% and 0·250% boric acid solutions at intervals of nine, eleven, fourteen and eighteen weeks after sowing. Sprays of 0·125% boric acid were found to be optimum for significantly increasing the number of leaves and flowers, the RNA content of leaves at full bloomin...

Zusammenfassung:Cotton plants were sprayed with 0·125% and 0·250% boric acid solutions at intervals of nine, eleven, fourteen and eighteen weeks after sowing. Sprays of 0·125% boric acid were found to be optimum for significantly increasing the number of leaves and flowers, the RNA content of leaves at full blooming stage and the total nitrogen content of kernels, as compared to the control plants (untreated). The authors have discussed various biochemical possibilities for this promotive effect of boron on these morphological parameters.
