Title
Boron Deficiency, a Cause of Blank Stalks and Barren Ears in Corn
K. C. Berger; Toivo Heikkinen; E. Zube Soil Science Society of America Journal 1957. doi:10.2136/sssaj1957.03615995002100060015x
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Corn at zero or low boron levels produced no ears or poorly developed barren ears, depending on treatment duration.
- Intervention effect Corn maintained at the 0.25 ppm boron concentration to maturity produced fully developed ears.
- Intervention effect Removing boron earlier resulted in barren ears.
- Intervention effect Field boron application reduced blank stalk numbers where present in 11% of fields.
- Observation The authors placed the critical boron level in upper leaves between 11 and 13 ppm.
