Rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) is one of the most important cropping systems in South
Asia. However, sustainability of this system is under threat owing to several factors, of which …

Boron (B) is considered as an essential element for plant growth and development. Sexual
reproduction in plant is more sensitive to low B, than vegetative growth. Considerable …

Half of the world's population-more than 3.5 billion people-depend on rice for more than
20% of their daily energy requirements. Rice productivity is under threat for several reasons …

The experiment was conducted to optimize the level of humic acid, zinc and boron for better
growth, enhanced yield and grain quality of wheat crop cultivated under field condition …

A field trial was conducted to evaluate the role of boron (B) application at different growth
stages in improving the growth, yield and net economic return of rice at farmer's fields during …

In addition to nine major nutrients, eight micronutrients [ie, boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper
(Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn)] are also …

Background In the almost century since the establishment of boron (B) as an essential plant
nutrient, its roles in plant growth and development have been identified, and the mechanism …

Boron (B) deficiency is becoming a common problem in water-saving rice production
systems of South Asia. Boron nutrition can potentially improve the crop performance. This …

ABSTRACT In Indo-Gangetic Plains, rice-wheat cropping system (RWC) is often practiced
on alkaline soils low in organic matter and plant available boron (B). However, switching …
