Response of Maize Hybrids to Exogenous Boron Supply

The book "Response of Maize Hybrids to Exogenous Boron Supply" by Nauman Shabbir provides a comprehensive analysis of the response of various maize hybrids to the external supply of boron. Maize, also known as Zea mays L., is one of the most important food and feed crops worldwide. In Pakistan, maize cultivation plays a central role, particularly in the Punjab and N.W.F.P. regions, where it is intensively grown. This study highlights the challenges posed by imbalanced fertilization and the management of essential nutrients, and examines the significance of boron as a micronutrient for plant growth. Boron is crucial for cell division, development, and the formation of pollen tubes, which are vital for fruit formation and yield. The research focuses on the production potentials of various maize hybrids and their response to boron applications under the specific conditions of Faisalabad.
