Abstract
The field experiment entitled “Effect of Nitrogen and Foliar Applied Boron on Yield and Economics of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)” was conducted Response of during the rabi season of 2022 in Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with ten treatment combinations, The soil in the experimental area was sandy loam with pH (7.6), EC (0.305 d S/m), organic carbon (0.23%), available N (184.8 kg/ha), available P (16.45 kg/ha) and available K (187.64 kg/ha). Seeds are sown at a spacing of 23 cm × 5 cm with a seed rate of 100 kg/ha. Consisting of three nitrogen levels (45, 60 and 75 kg N/ha) and different Concentration of Boron viz., 1, 1.5 and 3% foliar spray. The experimental result reveals that yield attributes viz., seed yield (4.81 t/ha), straw yield (6.48 t/ha) and economics viz., cost of cultivation (29911.98 INR/ha), gross return (115842.62 INR/ha), net return (85944.62 INR/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.87) recorded were significantly higher with treatment 9 (75 kg N/ha + 3% boron).
