Abstract

A field investigation was carried out during Kharif seasons of 2012-2013 at Udai Pratap Autonomous College Varanasi (U.P). To the effect of six treatment of T0- Control, T1- B at 1 kg ha-1 + NPK at RD, T2- B at 1.5 kg ha-1 + NPK at RD, T3- B at 2 kg ha-1 + NPK at RD, T4- B at 2.5 kg ha-1 + NPK at RD and T5- B at 3 kg ha-1 + NPK at RD (Recommended dose) on rice crop (Oryza sativa L.) variety Pusa Basmati-1. The boron on growth and yield attributing characters rice crop significantly with the application of B at 2.5 kg ha-1 + NPK at RD (120 : 60 : 60 kg ha-1) The use of RD only but in application of boron improved the growth and yield attributing characters rice crop.
