Among micronutrients, boron (B) is one of the essential micronutrients required for normal growth and development of crop plants. Boron in plants is reported to function at membrane level (Shelp et al. 1995) and is credited with maintaining membrane integrity (Cakmak et al. 1995) and enhanced ability of membranes to transport vital nutrients. The farmyard manure (FYM) itself containsreasonable amounts of nutrients which become available to plants upon decomposition besides enhancing availability of native as well as applied nutrients. The studies on the effect of B and FYM application on chemical composition of vegetables in general, and cauliflower in particular, are scanty. Therefore, greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the effect of B and FYM on nutrient contents incauliflower on two B-deficient soils collected from two varied agro-climatic conditions in North-West Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh
