B = boron; L = light; V = variety; , column having the same letter(s) are insignificant and different letter(s) statistically significant, P = probability. Means were separated by Tukey’s test at , B0 = 0 kg B ha−1 (control), B1 = 1 kg B ha−1, B2 = 2 kg B ha−1, L = normal day light + 6 h extended red light at night (≈18 h light), L0 = normal day light (≈12 h light), V1 = Dhaka-1, and V2 = BARI Chinabadam-8.
