Nutrient distribution and visual symptoms of boron deficiency in roots of green dwarf coconut
01/Dec/2008
Roots are usually the first plant organs where boron deficiency symptoms appear. The experimental evaluation of the effects of mineral deficiencies on the root system of trees is rather difficult. This experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of boron deficiency on the formation of roots with different diameters and on nutrient accumulation and to characterize visual symptoms of B deficiency in roots of green dwarf coconut trees. The following treatments were applied: complete nutrient solution (+B) and nutrient solution without […]
