  • Boron can also be applied as foliar spray of 0.1% borax solution.
  •  Seed treatment of 10 kg kernel with 3g ammonium molybdate along with rhizobium culture increases pod yield to the tune of 10 to 12%.
  • Further, combined application of boron and molybdenum as above produce 45 to 50% higher yield.
