Abstract/Contents:Profiles boron, "a plant nutrient, and a micro-nutrient anion. Only a very small amount of boron is necessary for healthy plant growth. Yet, it is the most widely-applied nutrient, as soil deficiencies requiring its use are found throughout the world." Describes the "function of boron in the plant"; "plant uptake of boron"; "boron availability in the soil"; "boron uptake and response by plants"; and "soil sampling techniques for boron." Cautions that "boron fertilizer should only be used once a deficiency has been verified by soil or tissue testing." Concludes that "it is never a sound practice to use boron routinely in turfgrass fertilization programs without proper soil or foliage testing."
