Abstract
An experiment was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,
Dhaka during the period from November 2015 to March 2016 to study the
effect of boron fertilization on wheat under inorganic and integrated nutrient
management. BARI Gom-24 (Prodip) was used as plant material. Six
treatments were considered for the experiment viz. T

application), T
