Abstract

Foliar applications of H₃BO₃, CaCl₂∙2H₂O and combinations of these compounds were applied to buckwheat during the flowering and seed development stages in a 3-yr field study. None of the treatments had any beneficial effect on seed yield or weight per seed. The high Ca treatment (100 000 ppm CaCl₂∙2H₂O) depressed yield.
