Effect of Foliar Application of Boron and Silicon on Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea mays L.)

This field experiment was carried out during Zaid season 2022 at experimental of Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology& Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil plot sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH7.3), low organic carbon (0.48%), available nitrogen (230 kg/ha), phosphorus (13.60 kg/ha) and potassium (215.4 kg/ha).. Ten treatments, each replicated three times, were used the one-year experiment, which set up using a randomised block design. results study showed that treatment B3 (100 ppm) + Si3 (700 significantly increased plant height (193.66 cm), number leaves per (12.83), dry weight (93.61 g/plant), yield attributes such as cobs (3.4), length cob (20.94 rows (15.6), grains (534.2). parameters Seed index (30.7), Grain (6.98 t/ha), Straw (14.73 t/ha) considerably greater with same ppm).
