Colorimetric Microdetermination of Boron by Curcumin-Acetone Solution Method

Effect of Boron on Human Health

“…In the spectrophotometric methods, boron in sample is converted to boric acid or borates. Produced forms of boron react with the chemicals cited above in mostly acidic solutions to give a colored boron-chelate complex [15]. Spectrofluorimetry is another sensitive technique for boron determination where complexes of B are formed and their fluorescence intensity is measured at a specific wavelength.…”

A Preliminary Study of Rumple — A Serious Rind Disorder of Lemons in Turkey

“…Soil analysis. For soil analysis the following methods were used: texture (Bouyoucos,195 1); cation exchange capacity (Richards, 1954); total nitrogen (Jackson, 1962); available phosphorus (Olsen et al, 1954); potassium and sodium (Richards, 1954); calcium and magnesium (Chapman and Pratt, 1961); zinc (Stewart and Berger, 1965); copper (Bould et al, 1949); iron (Olson, 1948); boron (Silverman and Trego, 1953); manganese (Hoff and Mederski, 1958); molybdenum (Purvis and Peterson, 1956).…”

A Novel Methodology for Fertilisation Strategies: Example of Boron Uptake and Accumulation in Camellia Oleifera

“…Bulk samples from the 30 trees were cleaned with distilled water, air dried and then oven dried at 65 °C to constant weight for 48 hours. Dried samples were grated and sieved to determine boron concentrations using the curcumin colorimetric method (Silverman & Trego 1953). The experiment was conducted in the middle of each month between December 2013 and December 2014 (Table 3).…”

“…However, boron mobility has been demonstrated in certain plants such as canola (Stangoulis et al 2001), sunflower (Matoh & Ochiai 2005) and white lupin (Huang et al 2008). Boron mobility has been shown to increase with lower boron status in several species, including coffee (Leite et al 2007) and olive trees (Liakopoulos et al 2009).…”
