Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during Kharif-2016 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru to study the “Response of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) to nano boron nitride fertilizationâ€. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with ten treatments and replicated thrice. The results showed that significantly higher seed (2788 kg ha-1) and stalk yield (5256 kg ha-1) were recorded with nano boron @ 0.2 % seed priming, which was on par with nano boron @ 0.2 % spray to capitulum at ray floret opening stage (2773 and 5069 kg ha-1, respectively) and soil application of borax @ 11 kg ha-1 (2424 and 5037kg ha-1, respectively) at the time of sowing. Significantly lowest seed yield was recorded with control (1629 and 4429 kg ha-1, respectively).
