Author : Noha waleed Qader; Nagham Salah Salim and Sahar Ali Khalo

Eating broccoli decreases the prevalence of illnesses in general. It is one of the major plants whose consumption has lately grown due to its high nutritional content and wonderful flavor. Among the most significant contributors to yield enhancement is the foliar application of microelements, particularly boron. The soil is characterized by basicity, which fixes many elements, especially micronutrients, and thus reduces the readiness of nutrients for the plant. As a result, foliar fertilizer spraying is the most effective approach to supplying micronutrients to plants. Boron is an essential mineral for plant development and production. It plays an important function in moving food from the leaves to storage regions, and sugars that combine with boron travel faster than polarised ones.
