Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Boron application increased tomato growth.
- Intervention effect Boron application increased tissue K, Ca and B concentrations.
- Intervention effect Boron increased field tomato nitrogen uptake.
- Intervention effect Boron did not increase tomato nitrogen uptake in hydroponics.
- Intervention effect Foliar or soil boron increased tomato plant and root dry weight.
- Intervention effect Foliar or soil boron increased uptake and tissue concentrations of N, Ca, K and B.
- Intervention effect Foliar or soil boron improved fruit set.
- Intervention effect Foliar or soil boron improved total and marketable yields.
- Intervention effect Foliar or soil boron improved fruit shelf life and firmness.
- Mechanism Similar foliar and root boron responses suggest phloem translocation.
- Intervention effect Fruit from boron-treated plants contained more boron.
- Mechanism The fruit nutrient response indicates boron translocation from leaves to fruit.
