Abstract
Boron-deficient soil causes inefficient plant growth and productivity. Many studies have been reported the effect of applying boron fertilizer on productivity in many crops of Thailand and other countries, but limit information is available on rice crop. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of boron fertilizer application on yield and yield components of Sanpatong 1 rice variety. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design (RCB) with four replications. The field experiment was conducted in the dry season of 2018 comprising of three boron fertilizer applications as soil boron, foliar boron, and non-boron fertilizer application. Rice plants were grown at two locations: the research station, Chiang Mai University and farmer’s field at San Sai District, Chiang Mai Province. The results showed that soil and foliar applications of boron had no significant effect on grain yield of Sanpatong 1 rice variety grown at both locations compared with non- boron fertilizer application, while it was affected on tiller number and panicle number per hill differently by the location. Foliar boron application increased tillers and panicles number per hill of rice grown at the research station, while soil boron application decreased tillers per hill of rice grown in San Sai location. In addition, boron application significantly affected on number of filled grains differently at each the location. It was found that soil and foliar boron applications increased the percentage of filled grains per panicle of rice grown at the research station, but no response was found in rice grown in San Sai location. The results from this study indicate that boron had affected on yield component depended on the growing location. Although, there was no significant effect on grain yield, but it is likely that boron fertilizer could improve grain yield, which should be determined and confirmed
