BRRI dhan28) was evaluated at the Reseahc Field of the Department of Crop Science and Technology, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi-6205, during the Rabi season from November 2015 to April 2016 in High Ganges River Floodplain under AgroEcological Zone-11 (AEZ-11). The experiment was consisted three level of sulphur, viz., S<sub>0</sub>: without sulphur (control), S<sub>20</sub>: 20 kg S ha<sup>-1</sup>, S<sub>30</sub>: 30 kg S ha<sup>-1</sup>, and three level of boron viz., B<sub>0</sub>: without boron (control), B<sub>2</sub>: 2 kg B ha<sup>-1</sup>, B<sub>3</sub>: 3 kg B ha<sup>-1</sup>. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed that S and B significantly influenced the yield straw yield, biomass yield, sterility percentage, agronomic efficiency and economic return of BRRI dhan28. The treatment combination of S<sub>20</sub>B<sub>2</sub> (20 kg S ha<sup>-1</sup> with 2 kg B ha<sup>-1</sup>) performed the best results of the aforesaid traits. So, it can be suggested to apply S at 20 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> and B at 2 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> with recommended dose of NPK and Zn for maximizing yield, agronomic efficiency and economic point of view of boro rice in calcareous soils of AEZ-11.</p> ER -
