Can boron application increase the starch content in cassava roots?

Boron is one of the essential micronutrients that is important for cassava growth, one of which is in the formation of starch, but research on the effect of boron on cassava plants is still rarely reported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to know the effect of boron application on cassava starch content. The experiment was conducted in Tanjung Bintang District, South Lampung Regency, Lampung Province from February to December 2020. Waxy clone cassava was used as planting material and 45% boric acid fertilizer as treatment material. There were five boron treatments (B0 (0 kg boron ha-1), B1 (0.31 kg boron ha−1), B2 (0.63 kg boron ha−1), B3 (0.94 kg boron ha−1), and B4 (1.26 kg boron ha−1)) applied to waxy clone cassava. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with 3 replicates. The results showed that treatment B2 showed the average weight of cassava roots is 2.15 kg/plant and starch content is 23.83%. Treatment B2 also showed the highest mean of those two variables compared to other treatments.

Effect of boron applications on boron concentration of the leaves under the harvest base of tea plant

The part of the tea plant evaluated nutritionally and economically are the shoots. For the shoots to be nourished, essential nutrients must be present in soil and leaves under the shoots which serve as a kind of storage organs. However, boron is deficient in soil for its high active-acid level and precipitation in the Black Sea Region in Turkey and the plant due to its immobility. A two-year fixed field experiment was designed in the Arhavi district of Artvin/ Turkey to determine the effect of soil and foliar boron application on the concentration, mobilization, accumulation, and storage of boron in the leaves under the harvest base of the tea plant. Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT, Na2B8O13.4H2O, 20.8 % B) was used as a boron source and, four applications were conducted: S0L0, S0L1, S1L0, S1L1 (S: Soil application, 0 kg B ha-1, and 4 kg B ha-1; L: Foliar application, 0 mg B L-1, and 400 mg B L-1). As a result of the analysis, boron accumulation was determined mainly in the old leaves, and the concentration decreased toward the young leaves. Moreover, the boron concentration in the leaves under the harvest base gradually reduced toward the end of the harvest season. However, tea plants deprived of boron positively reacted to soil and foliar boron fertilization, and the boron concentration of the leaves under the shoots increased significantly and reached above the critical deficiency limit (> 30 mg kg-1). The most successful application was S1L1, followed by S1L0 and S0L1, respectively.

Effects of Boron Application and Gamma Ray Irradiation On Yield of Sugar Beet (Beta Vulgaris L.) Grown in Sandy Soil

Effects of boron as an essential nutrient for sugar beet along with gamma irradiation was traced under field conditions. Data demonstrated that the fresh and dry root yields of sugar beet significantly increased with the increase either gamma dose or boron levels comparing to the non-irradiated and born-untreated plants. It seems that root dry weight tended to increase gradually with increasing gamma dose 0 to 100 Gy, then tended to decrease with 200 Gy dose but it still increased with gradual increases of boron levels. In this regard, the best value of root dry weight was achieved with 100 Gy dose interacted with 2.40 kg/ ha of boron addition. On the other hand, plants exposed to 50 Gy and treated with 2.40 kg/ ha reflected the highest shoot dry matter yield compared to other treatments. Relatively, this treatment increased shoot dry weight by about one fold, two folds and near to two folds for the same sequence. Behavior of NPK uptake by shoots has the same trend. Plants irradiated with 100 Gy together with 2.40 kg boric acid ha-1 yielded the highest total soluble solids (TSS%) and produced the best per cent of sucrose. Bangladesh J.

Hayvan Yemi Olarak Kullanılan Şekerpancarı Yapraklarının Nitrat İçeriğine Azot-Bor Uygulamasının ve Zamanın Etkisi

Şekerpancarı üretiminde verim ve kalite için azot (N) ve bor (B) gübrelemesi önemlidir. Fakat fazla azotlu (N) gübreler kalite parametreleri üzerinde olumsuz etkilere neden olmaktadır. Hayvan yemi olarak kullanılan şeker pancarı yapraklarında nitrat birikiminin artması da olumsuz etkilenen kalite parametrelerinden birisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, şeker pancarına farklı dozda azot ve bor uygulamasının bitki yapraklarında nitrat birikimi üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Çalışma, Kahramanmaraş ili Elbistan İlçesinde 2017 yılında B içeriği 0,56 mg kg-1 olan bir arazide yürütülmüştür. Deneme tesadüf blokları faktöriyel deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Denemede 5 farklı N dozu (0, 9,18, 27, 36 kg N da-1) ve 4 farklı B dozu (0, 200, 400, 600 g B da-1) uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada temmuz, ağustos, eylül ve ekim aylarında yaprak örnekleri alınmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre N dozu arttıkça yaprakların nitrat içeriği istatistiksel olarak önemli derecede artmıştır. Bor uygulamasının yaprakların nitrat içeriği üzerine etkisi önemli bulunmamıştır. Hasat dönemine doğru yaprakların nitrat içeriği istatistiksel olarak önemli düzeyde azalmıştır. Sonuç olarak hasat sonrası şekerpancarı yapraklarının hayvan yemi olarak kullanması, nitrat bakımından hayvanlar için bir risk oluşturmamaktadır.

Effect of boron application on growth, yield parameters, yield, quality, nutrient uptake and economics of sunflower

Sunflower (Helianthus annum L.) being the third most important oilseed crop is grown extensively in India owing to its wider adaptability. Oil is considered premium for human consumption due to higher nutritional properties such as polyunsaturated acids, linoleic and oleic acid controlling blood cholesterol and good for heart patients. Sunflower is sensitive to boron deficiency which is a concern in present agricultural soils as a result of improper management and practices. Boron has various functions viz., translocation of sugar, pollen fertility, stigma receptivity and nectar production resulting in higher number of filled seeds. Deficiency symptoms are noticed in leaves, stem, reproductive parts and heads. Boron application was found to play a significant role in achieving potential yield by improving the growth attributes, yield attributes, nutrient uptake leading to increase productivity of sunflower. Research evidences from investigations of different eminent research scientist on application of boron by soil or foliar spray in sunflower has been reviewed panoramically.

Impact of Nitrogen and Boron Fertilization on Winter Triticale Productivity Parameters

Research related to fertilization in winter triticale cultivation was limited to macroelements. The effects of boron on triticale (deficiency or toxicity) affecting productivity are still unknown. In 2013–2015, a field experiment was carried out at the Experimental Station in Tomaszkowo near Olsztyn. The objective was set response of winter triticale variety Pigmej under the influence of various levels of nitrogen (N) and boron (B) fertilization. Five levels of nitrogen fertilization: 0, 40, 80 (50 + 30), 120 (90 + 30), and 160 (90 + 70) kg ha−1 and four levels of boron fertilization: 0, 0.8, 1.6, and 2.4 kg ha−1 were tested. The experiment has demonstrated considerable differences in the grain yield volume and structure under the influence of various weather conditions and different doses of nitrogen. The difference between the highest and lowest grain yield was 1.7 t ha−1—53.6%. The effect of boron application was also manifested as an increase in the winter triticale grain yield and improved yield component structure, but the statistically significant differences were observed only in ears number per 1 m2. The highest dose of boron applied in the experiment caused a decrease in the quantity of grain yield and its component parts.

Boron application to kill mouse-ear hawkweed in snow tussock grassland in Central Otago: does this have toxic effects on the native flora?

ABSTRACTPilosella officinarum is a serious adventive weed in New Zealand. It has also proven to be highly invasive in other countries. The areas infested are typically extensive rangelands for which expensive control measures would be hard to justify economically. However, it has been known for many years that species of this genus are particularly sensitive to the concentration of boron in the soil. The application of boron fertilisers is now a common practice to control P. officinarum infestations in the extensively grazed tussock grasslands in Central Otago. The farmers seek to exploit the differences in boron tolerance between P. officinarum and the exotic pasture species which farmers would like to establish in its place. However, there are large tracts of infested land for which the aim is the restoration of the native vegetation for water harvesting, aesthetic or conservation reasons. This study examines the effect of boron application (as ulexite) on the native species of the tussock grasslands flora. At the application rates recommended for P. officinarum control none of the native species was adversely affected by the added ulexite. Doubling the recommended application rates affected some but not all of the native species. The results suggest that the use of boron in this manner is unlikely to have any adverse effect on conservation values in tussock grassland, whether grazed or retired.

Effects of boron application on new wheat varieties in Bangladesh

A pot experiment was conducted in the Net house of Soil Science Division of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur during rabi season, 2017-2018 in Tista Meander Floodplain Soils (AEZ-3). The objectives were to evaluate the effect of boron on the yield of wheat, estimate boron use efficiency and to find out suitable variety for maximizing the yield. The experiment was designed in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Three varieties of wheat (BARI Gom-28, BARI Gom-29 and BARI Gom-30) with 5 levels of boron (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 kg ha-1) along with a blanket dose N120P30K90S15Zn3Mg6 kg ha-1 were used in the study. All the three varieties performed well with application of 1.5 kg B ha-1 as compared to the other B treatments. However, the highest yield (39.2 g pot-1) was obtained with BARI Gom-30 variety receiving B at 1.5 kg ha-1.

Effect of boron application on calcium and boron concentrations in cell wall of durum (Triticum durum) and bread (Triticum aestivum) wheat

ABSTRACTA greenhouse experiment was conducted with three doses of boron (0, 1, and 10 mg B kg−1 in the form of boric acid (H3BO3). Durum wheat (Triticum durum L. cv: Çakmak-79) and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv: Gerek-79) cultivars were used as plant material. B toxicity symptoms strongly appeared in durum wheat compared to bread wheat. Applications of B at 1.0 mg B kg−1 stimulated and increased the dry weights of both the cultivars, while high level B application (i.e., 10 mg B kg−1) depressed and decreased the dry weights significantly. B concentration and uptake in the leaf tip were increased with an increase in B application, whereas calcium (Ca) concentration and uptake were decreased in both the cultivars. It was observed that a substantial amount of B was accumulated in the plant cell wall. As similar to leaf tips, B concentrations in the cell wall also increased with B application, whereas Ca concentration was decreased.

The Effect of Boron Application on Chemical Characterization and Volatile Compounds of Virgin Olive Oil of Ayvalik Olive Cultivar

AbstractIn this study, the Ayvalik olive variety, an important and widely grown olive variety in Turkey, was chosen. A month prior to blooming and 2 months prior to harvesting in 2011 and 2012, three different concentrations of boron (100, 150 and 250 ppm) were applied to the olive leaves with or without boron deficiencies. After the application, quality criteria, fatty acid composition, total phenol contents and major volatile compounds of olive oil that was obtained from the harvested olives were investigated. Boron application to the olive trees with boron deficiencies has improved both the amount and the olive oil quality. Experimental results show the significance of boron for olive farming. Application of boron in 150 ppm led to a better olive oil quality by improving fatty acid composition [oleic acid (76.03 %), linoleic acid (9.68 %), linolenic acid (0.56 %), monounsaturated fatty acid (77.24 %)], total phenol content (422.94 ppm) and major volatile compounds [E‐2‐hexenal (43.12 ppm), hexanal (3.02 ppm), Z‐3‐hexenol (1.13 ppm)] in both harvest seasons (2011–2012) and in both olive orchards with or without boron deficiencies.

Effects of Boron Applications on Flower Spike Dieback of Statice (Limonium spp.)

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of boron treatments on flower spike dieback of Statice (Limonium spp.) grown in soilless hydroponic and soil cultures under rain shelter system. The growth of Statice was gradually improved with increasing boron applications in the hydroponics, but not in soil culture with boron treatment as foliar spray or soil application. The degree of flower spike dieback in 6 levels (0, no dieback incidence to 5, very severe dieback incidence) ranged between 0.5 with boron application and 4.4 with no boron treatment. The content of boron in Statice flower spike increased with increasing rates of boron applications in the hydroponics, but the contents of P, Mg, and N were not affected by the boron application. However, K content was highest with no boron treatment. In soil culture, incidence of flower spike dieback decreased with foliar spray or soil application of boron. Therefore, boron application was effective in reducing flower spike dieback and improving cut-flower productivity and its quality, and the recommended rates of boron application were <TEX>$50{\sim}80{\mu}gL^{-1}$</TEX> for hydroponics culture whereas 0.2% borex or <TEX>${\geq}0.4kg\;10a^{-1}$</TEX> boric acid by foliar spray application for soil culture.

Effect of Boron Application on Yield, Quality, and Nutritional Status of Peach Cultivar Andross

During the cultivation period of 2005–2007, a project was carried out in the region of Eirinoupolis, prefecture of Imathia, Macedonia, northern Greece. The study investigated the application of boron (B) timing (flowering, fruit set, fruit growth) and method (soil and foliage) on the vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality, and nutritional status of the cling-stone peach variety Andross. The cultivar was grafted onto an 8-year-old rootstock GF 677. The results showed that the greatest marketable yield (135 kg tree–1) was achieved in peach trees where B was applied on soil during the flowering stage in combination with a balanced nitrogen–phosphorus–potassium (NPK) basal application. Boron concentration in fruits of that treatment was increased in both cultivation years compared to most of the applied treatments. Foliar application of B at flowering, fruit set, and fruit growth, primarily in combination with foliar calcium (Ca) application, showed fruits to be less affected by cracking and Monilinia over all treatments. However, foliar application of Ca did not significantly promote leaf or fruit Ca concentration.

Effects of Boron Application on Yield, Foliar Boron Concentration, and Efficiency of Soil Boron Extracting Solutions in a Xanthic Ferralsol Cultivated with Banana in Central Amazon

Boron (B) is known to play important roles in the structures of cell walls and membranes and in the integrity and functions of membranes in plants. Under the conditions in the central Amazon region, there are few studies about this nutrient. In Brazilian soils, the hot-water B extraction method has been extensively used for evaluation of soil B status. However, difficulties with this method result in poor accuracy and precision of extraction of available B in soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the yield, foliar concentration, and efficiency of B extracting solutions and the effect of B fertilization on B uptake in banana (Musa spp.) leaves and fruits, subgroup Cavendish (AAA), cultivated in a Xanthic Ferralsol (dystrophic Yellow Latosol) located in Amazonas State, Brazil. The experimental design was a completely randomized split plot, with four B rates (0, 4, 8, and 12 kg ha−1), two harvest cycles (subtreatments), and four replicates. Available B was determined with seven extractant solutions: Mehlich 1, Mehlich 3, hot water, hydrochloric acid (HCl) 0.05 mol L−1, HCl 0.1 mol L−1, HCl 5.0 mol L−1, and potassium chloride (KCl 1.0 mol L−1). The application of B fertilizer increased the yield and B concentration in leaves and fruits. Hot water and KCl 1.0 mol L−1 were the most efficient extracting solutions for the determination of available B in soil. The application of 3.4 kg B ha−1 in the first cycle and 1.3 kg B ha−1 in the second cycle guarantees an adequate nutritional status in banana plants.

Effects of boron application on morphine yield of some varieties of poppy (Papaver somniferumL.)

Poppy is placed among the most important medicinal plants in Turkey. The present study was carried out to determine the effect of different boron doses on morphine yield of four poppy cultivars grown in the Western Anatolia Region of Turkey during 2002–2003 growing season. The field experiment was set up in a “Factorial in Randomized Complete Block” design with four replications, the varieties (Ankara 94, Kocatepe 96, Afyon Kalesi 95 and Karahisar 96) were assigned to the main plots and five boron doses of 0, 1, 3, 9 and 36 kg B ha−1 (as spray of boric acid) were assigned to the subplots. The results revealed that the effect of boron doses on capsule yield and morphine yield were significant but their effect on morphine ratio was insignificant. The highest capsule yield (1011.6 kg ha−1) and morphine yield (5.96 kg ha−1) was obtained by the application of 1 kg B ha−1 and values showed a decreasing trend at higher boron doses. The highest dose of boron applications (36 kg ha−1) produced the lowest values for capsule yield (376.4 kg ha−1) and morphine yield (2.05 kg ha−1). Among the cultivars, Karahisar 96 had highest capsule yield, morphine ratio and morphine yield (863.6 kg ha−1, 0.65%, 5.64 kg ha−1, respectively). Our results suggest that 1 kg ha−1 boron application would be sufficient to obtain good morphine yield.
