Growth responses of two kenaf varieties (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) applied by different levels of potassium, boron and zinc

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of potassium, boron and zinc rates on the growth of kenaf. Seeds of two kenaf varieties namely; FHH 925 and 4383 variety were planted on 26 September 2013. Plant growth was determined for both varieties. The growth characteristics which consist of pl...
