Effect among potassium and boron on quantitative traits of Maize (Single Cross 704)

Nutrient deficiency in soil can stimulate the release of exudates and alter plant growth patterns. For study the effect among different boron and potassium fertilizer on growth, yield and yield components of maize (Zea Mays L.) were studied in a field experiment at Mariwan Payame Noor University, Iran in 2010. The experiment was based on randomized complete block design (factorial) with 4 replications. Result of analysis of variance showed that there was significant difference among different level boron and potassium fertilizer in the majority of traits. Correlation coefficient showed was positive and significant correlation grain yield with 1000 grain weight. The result of factor analysis showed that 3 independent factors for characters to explain 68.85 percent variation of all data.
