Boron (B) deficiency in maize can result in barren cobs attributed to silks   being nonreceptive which is particularly important for the female parent in   seed production. The objectives of this study were 1) to investigate   genotypic differences among nine female inbred lines used in seed production   for B concentration in ear-leaf and grain, as well as for grain yield and   moisture in a three-year experiment (2006-2008) and 2) to determine response   and relations among the traits when four of the female inbred lines are   treated by foliar boron fertilization - three times in 10-days interval with   0.5% Solubor solution (17.5% B) during one growing season (2008). The   investigations were performed on Experimental field of Agricultural Institute   Osijek, (soil type: eutrical cambisol). Highly significant differences among   the nine female inbred lines were detected for B concentration in ear-leaf   (from 14.7 to 46.7 mg B kg-1) and grain (from 1.20 to 2.06 mg B kg-1) as well   as for grain yield (from 3.33 to 4.83 t ha-1) and grain moisture (from 14.7%   to 26.6%). However, there were also significant effects of growing season and   the genotype by environment interaction for all four traits. Positive and   moderate correlations were found between the boron status in plant and grain   yield. Although B concentrations were considerably increased by foliar boron   fertilization (averages 41.7 and 125.3 mg B kg-1 in leaves, 1.79 and 2.80 mg   B kg-1 in grain, for control and fertilization, respectively), in general   grain yield differences among treatments were non-significant. (averages 5.21   and 5.15 t ha-1, respectively)
