Experiment was carried out in the Eastern Ukraine region to determine the effectiveness of boron fertilization in different phases of vegetation (V8–V10, R1–R2, and combined application). The effect of boron on the yield, depending on the application rate (1.5 l/ha and 3.0 l/ha), was analyzed. The results obtained indicate that boron fertilizing did not provide an increase in yield, and in some cases led to its decrease. The smallest decrease was observed when boron was applied in the R1-R2 phase at a rate of 1.5 l/ha, where the yield remained almost at the Check level.","PeriodicalId":367992,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Water Research","volume":"3 3","pages":"01-04"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.opastpublishers.com/open-access-articles-pdfs/influence-of-foliar-application-of-watersoluble-boron-on-sunflower-productivity.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147910677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this article is to contribute to emerging literature on monitoring and evaluation by assessing rural water system functionality, service levels and performance of service providers and authorities, particularly in terms of compliance to the Community Water and Sanitation Agency norms and standards. While more than three quarters of handpumps and piped schemes are functional, only 5% handpumps and 22% piped schemes provide basic services. Service providers have challenges in the area of composition, bank accounts, up-to-date financial and operational records, routine maintenance, and water quality testing in line with national guidelines. The study found that only one service authority carried out regular monitoring support toservice providers for small communities. This study highlights how systematic monitoring of rural water facilities, service providers and authorities provide information necessary to plan, set targets, budget , monitor progress , take remedial action and ensure accountability and sustainability of services. This article argues the need for stronger and regular post-construction support such as monitoring and evaluation and capacity building for service providers and authority to safeguard sustainable waterservices.","PeriodicalId":367992,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Water Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116818851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
