Other claims from this paper (19)
- Association Sour orange boron use efficiency was negatively correlated with added boron.
- Intervention effect Boric acid at 30 and 60 mg kg(‑1) decreased MM106 boron use efficiency.
- Intervention effect BA at 60 mg kg(‑1) increased MM106 leaf and stem boron concentrations.
- Intervention effect SB at 60 mg kg(‑1) increased MM106 leaf and stem boron concentrations.
- Intervention effect SB at 30 and 60 mg kg(‑1) gave the highest boron concentration throughout sour orange plants.
- Intervention effect BA at 60 mg kg(‑1) gave the highest boron concentration throughout sour orange plants.
- Intervention effect High boron doses caused leaf boron toxicity symptoms in MM106.
- Intervention effect High boron doses caused leaf boron toxicity symptoms in sour orange.
- Intervention effect SB increased leaf potassium concentration in MM106.
- Intervention effect SB increased leaf potassium concentration in sour orange.
- Association MM106 fresh matter weight was negatively correlated with applied boron amount.
- Intervention effect Applied boron had no observed effect on sour orange fresh matter weight.
- Intervention effect Boron application did not affect MM106 plant height, stem diameter or shoot length.
- Intervention effect Boron application did not affect MM106 lamella length or leaf and node numbers.
- Intervention effect Boron treatment slightly increased leaf chlorophyll concentration in sour orange.
- Intervention effect SB at 7.5 mg kg(‑1) was the only treatment significantly increasing MM106 photosynthetic rate.
- Association The MM106 photosynthetic rate increase was not associated with plant growth.
- Recommendation Lower boron doses than those tested were recommended for MM106 to prevent toxicity.
- Recommendation Lower boron doses than those tested were recommended for sour orange to prevent toxicity.
