Seed Priming and Foliar Application of Green-synthesised Nano Boron Nitride and Sulphur Enhance Nutrient-use and Production Efficiencies in Sunflower

N. Pruthviraj & V. Lakshmi · Journal of Scientific Research and Reports · 2026

Background: Efficient boron and sulphur delivery is important for sunflower productivity, but the combined effects of green-synthesised nano formulations applied through seed priming and foliar spraying on nutrient-efficiency indices remain poorly defined. Objective: This study e...
