Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Boron deficiency depressed root dry matter.
- Intervention effect Boron deficiency depressed young leaf dry matter.
- Association Young leaf boron concentration declined from 20 to 3 mg kg −1 DM as boron supply depleted.
- Intervention effect Boron deficiency depressed young leaflet elongation earlier than shoot dry matter.
- Association Young leaves required 12 mg B kg −1 DM to reach 90% of maximal elongation rate.
- Recommendation The authors propose the leaf boron value as a more consistent and accurate diagnostic threshold than shoot dry matter correlation.
