Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Sunflower showed no boron deficiency symptoms in either soil.
- Observation Kernel boron content was around 20 mg kg−1 at harvest across all B rates.
- Intervention effect Boron application did not improve kernel oil or protein content.
- Intervention effect Boron at or above 5 mg kg−1 in soil 1 induced sunflower phytotoxicity symptoms.
- Intervention effect Boron at or above 10 mg kg−1 in soil 2 induced sunflower phytotoxicity symptoms.
- Intervention effect The phytotoxic B supply did not affect sunflower growth, biomass or oil production.
