Title

A. Mozafar Journal of Plant Nutrition 1987. doi:10.1080/01904168709363575
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Ear-leaf boron increased linearly as solution boron rose in Mutin.
- Association Ear-leaf boron increased nonlinearly as solution boron rose in Carlos Semu 201.
- Observation Ear-leaf B reached 29.1 mmol kg–1 in Mutin without unequivocal toxicity symptoms.
- Observation Ear-leaf B reached 28.1 mmol kg–1 in Carlos Semu 201 without unequivocal toxicity symptoms.
- Intervention effect Interrupting boron supply curtailed normal ear development, more severely in Mutin.
- Observation Critical ear-leaf B concentration for stover yield was higher in Mutin than Carlos Semu 201 (3.8 versus 1.9 mmol kg–1).
- Observation Critical ear-leaf B concentration for total yield was higher in Mutin than Carlos Semu 201 (14.8 versus 6.0 mmol kg–1).
- Observation Critical ear-leaf B concentration for ear yield yield was higher in Mutin than Carlos Semu 201 (25.3 versus 8.4 mmol kg–1).
- Mechanism Higher critical B levels for production indicate a role for B in storage of assimilates.
