Abstract
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. This study evaluated the responses of boron uptake and productivity of KDML105 rice variety to soil boron fertilizer applications in Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML105) rice variety grown under non-flooded and flooded conditions. The pot experiment was arranged in 2x4 factorial in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. Rice plants were cultivated under two different water managements, 1) non-flooded and 2) flooded conditions, with four soil boron fertilizer applications, 1) the control with no boron, 2) boron application at tillering stage, 3) boron application at flowering stage, and 4) boron application two times at tillering and flowering stages. Results showed that grain yield had no clear response to boron application in all treatments, but plants grown under flooded condition had 15% grain yield higher than that under non-flooded condition. The number of spikelets per panicle and the percentage of unfilled fertilized grains were increased compared to the control, even though it did not affect on grain yield but the number of spikelets per panicle and the percentage of unfilled fertilized grains increased with increasing of boron concentration in different plant parts and total boron uptake in boron fertilizer application at flowering, and two times at tillering and flowering stages under non-flooded and flooded conditions. These were indicated by the positive correlation between boron concentration in different plant parts and the percentage of unfilled fertilized grain. However, this study has a positive trend to further investigate the appropriate management for rice variety by boron fertilizer with other elements to improve yield components and productivity which would benefit to farmers.
