Popis: Field studies were carried out during the growing season 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Banat’s university of agricultural sciences and veterinary medicine, Timisoara, Romania to study the effect of foliar Fe, B and Fe+B fertilizer at two growth stages on growth, yield and nutrient concentration in flag leaves and grains of wheat. The treatments were laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Two years average results show that treatment receiving 333g Fe ha -1 +167g B ha -1 at both growth stages ZGS21+ZGS41 produced the highest plant height (86.0 cm), flag leaf area (28.66 cm 2 ), chlorophyll content (58.0 SPAD value) and grain yield (518 gm m -2 ). All micronutrients (Fe, B and Fe+B) sprayed at both stages (ZGS21+ZGS41) significantly improved micronutrients concentration in wheat flag leaf and grains over control treatment.
