| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted to study the response of sunflower hybrid, KBSH-53to boron on a soil with low boron (0.3 ppm) during kharif-2014 at All India Coordinated Research Project on Sunflower, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bengaluru. The experiment laid out in a Randomised Complete Block Design with 11 treatments replicated thrice. Treatments consisting of application of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF-90:90:60 kg NPK ha-1 and 7.5 t FYM) alone, RDF along with application of borax through seed treatment, soil application, spraying and dusting to capitulum at ray floret opening stage. The results revealed that application of RDF + borax @ 0.4 % spray to capitulum at ray floret opening stage recorded significantly higher seed and oil yield (2176 kg ha-1 and 858.5 kg ha-1, respectively). It was attributed to higher SPAD (chlorophyll content)reading of 44.38 at 50 % flowering, higher leaf area (4269 cm2 plant- 1)at 60 DAS and higher yield attributing characters like capitulum diameter (15.97 cm), test weight (5.22 g 100 seeds-1), total seeds (1233 numberscapitulum-1), filled seeds (1195 number capitulum-1), seed yield (48.87 g plant-1), lower chaffiness (3.07 %) and higher N (112.09), P (25.62 kg ha-1) and K (93.86 kg ha-1) uptake. Higher net returns (` 44527 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.37) was obtained in this treatment. | en_US |
