Abstract
Abnormalities in growth and development in C. nitida (Vent.) Schott and Endl. caused by boron deficiency are described. These include dieback of terminal shoots and the subsequent simultaneous development of many lateral branches, malformation of leaves, profuse flowering, increase in flower size, reduced fruit setting, parthenocarpic fruit development, and the preponderance of female flowers in the inflorescences. Visible deficiency symptoms did not appear when the boron content of the leaves was 15 ppm or more.
