Results

Regarding fat yield, which is partly reflected in productivity, all trials with boron showed higher fat content compared to the control treatment, highlighting the potential effect of boron application on improving this parameter.

This is the second of the three years planned for the trial to be completed, so it is risky to draw conclusions, which will need to be analyzed in the remaining years.
