Abstract:

In field experiment in the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan conducted during winter 2006-07, yield response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to boron application at different growth stages was investigated. Foliar application of Boron in Wheat at four different growth stages i.e at tillering, jointing, booting and anthesis was practiced. Number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield was significantly increased where boron was applied. Significantly higher yield was obtained where Boron was applied at booting stage. So, boron application at booting stage was found to be the best time for obtaining higher grain yield of wheat.
