Abstract

---

The nutritional functions of boron were investigated in improving rice growth and yield, both in solution and soil culture environments. Three rice cultivars [viz., KS-282 (salt-tolerant), BG-402-4 (mixed behavior) and IR-28 (salt-sensitive)] of differential salinity tolerant were used to investigate the ameliorative nutritional aspects of boron. Boron was applied @ 25, 50
