- Intervention effect Foliar boron spray at 0.25 kg ha-1 significantly increased yield, quality and nutrient uptake, and was more effective than other B application methods.
- Intervention effect Different B application methods significantly affected tobacco yield, quality and nutrient uptake compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Chloride and potassium contents were not significantly affected by any B fertilization method.
- Intervention effect B fertilization increased the B concentration in tobacco leaf.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron spray gave higher fertilizer-use efficiency than soil application and root dipping.
- Association K/B and Cl/B nutrient ratios decreased in tobacco leaf as leaf B concentration increased.
- Association K/B and Cl/B ratios were closely correlated with the tobacco leaf grade index.
- Observation Good tobacco grades were found at a K/B ratio of 682.
- Observation Good tobacco grades were found at a Cl/B ratio of 148.
