Field experiments were conducted during rabi season (1978-79 and 1979-80) on silt loam soil having pH 7.3 containing 0.42 ppm available boron, to study the effect of rates and methods of boron application on yield and quality of sugarbeet. Boron application through soil or foliage increased the yield of top and beet, sucrose per cent in beet juice, total sugar yield and improved the quality of sugarbeet.
