Maximum number of tillers per m2 was recorded in the plot
where boron was soil applied at 1.5 kg/hm2 at the flowering
stage, but it was similar with all other treatments except
seedling roots dipping in B solution that resulted in minimum
plant population (Table 3). Maximum number of grains per
panicle was recorded where B was applied as soil application at
the tillering stage, but it was at par with soil application of B at
transplanting, flowering and grain formation stages, and
seedling roots dipping in B solution and foliar application of B
at flowering. Minimum number of grains per panicle was
