Abstract: A field experiment was conducted on boron deficient soil of Bhadra command area, Karnataka to evaluate the effect of borax levels on growth and yield of rice and the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with seven treatments and replicated thrice. Application of recommended FYM+NPK+8 kg Borax per ha recorded significantly higher plant height (76.90 cm), number of leaves (89.43 plant^-1), number of tillers (17.70 plant^-1), dry matter accumulation (55.78 g hill^-1), grain yield (5135.64 kg ha^-1) and straw yield (5845.39 kg ha^-1). Lowest plant height (65.00 cm), number of leaves (76.50 plant^-1), number of tillers (15.73 plant^-1), dry matter accumulation (47.42 g hill^-1), grain yield (3904.26 kg ha^-1) and straw yield (4733.48 kg ha^-1) was recorded treatment that received recommended FYM+NPK+20 kg Borax per ha.
