Boron deficiency causes large productivity losses in eucalypt stands in extensive areas of the Brazilian Cerrado region, thus understanding B mobility is a key step in selecting genetic materials that will better withstand B limitation. Thus, in this study B mobility was evaluated in two eucalypt clones (68 and 129), under B sufficiency or B deficiency, after foliar application of the 10B isotope tracer to a single mature leaf. Samples of young tissue, mature leaves and roots were collected 0, […]

The aim of this study was to test the effect of three methods of estimating the DRIS indices on the nutritional status of eucalipt plantations, based on the grouping of these indices by the Nutrient Application Potential Response Method. Nutrient concentrations of tree leaf, branch, stembark and stemwood, determined in 1986 trees of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla hybrids growing in the States of Espírito Santo and Bahia, Brazil, were evalued by the methods of Jones, Elwali and Gascho, and […]
