Germination and initial development of corn seedlings as a result of the treatment of seeds with boron
01/Dec/2000
The boron supply to plants can be accomplished by the soil, by foliar application or by treatment of the seeds. Seed treatment advantages are: application uniformity, readiness for plant use and reduction of the application costs. Theoretically, the initial reserve of boron can be increased by application in the seeds. However, high boron concentrations close to the seeds interfere with germination. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the germination of seeds treated with increasing doses of B and […]
