Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of boron (B) and calcium (Ca) treatments on growth, quality, and mineral concentration of ‘Easy Lover’ rose grown in soilless culture. The experiment was arranged in a factorial based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments were consisted three levels of B (25, 50 and 75 μM) and three levels of Ca (2.5, 5 and 7.5 mM). Increasing B and Ca concentration in nutrient solution improved root development. The tallest stems were obtained from the application of 75 μM B and 7.5 mM Ca. Application of B and Ca showed a further increase in stem diameter, with the thickest stem caused by 50 μM B and 7.5 mM Ca. Plants receiving 50 μM B and 2.5 mM Ca had highest number of flowering stem. High Ca level in the nutrient solution antagonized the B concentration in leaf and petal.
