“…The increase in the contents of B in the soil decreased the seed production of three of the four soybean varieties grown in Turkey (HAMURCU et al, 2019). The yield of cauliflower plants was favored up to a dose of 5 kg ha -1 , but negatively affected with higher doses (NAZIR et al, 2019). In Brazil, peanut productivity showed a reduction in response to higher doses of B via leaf (MANTOVANI et al, 2013).…”

Due to the increasing national and international demand, the cultivation of açaí palm trees (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) has expanded to upland areas in Brazil. Most of these areas present low natural soil fertility, in which boron (B) is one of the most limiting nutrients. This study aimed to evaluate the productivity of fresh fruits of fertigated açaí trees submitted to doses of B. The study was carried out in Tomé-Açu, northeastern Pará, Brazil. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with four treatments: control and addition of 20, 40 and 60 g of B clump-1. After 17 months, bunches of fresh fruits were collected and the production per hectare was estimated. An economic analysis was carried out considering the costs of fertilization and fruit production. The productivities obtained in the treatments were considered above the average of the municipality of Tomé-Açu. The estimated content of leaf B that provided the highest productivity was 14.9 mg kg-1, for a yield of 5479 kg ha-1 year-1¸ while the critical content corresponded to 13.2 mg kg-1. The highest productivity of fresh açaí fruits was achieved with the dose of 20 g of B clump-1, which provided a net gain of 42%.

“…Excessive fertilization with B is known to decrease the productivity of agricultural production (AQUEA et al, 2012;KAYIHAN et al, 2016;HAMURCU et al, 2019;NAZIR et al, 2019). In açaí trees in the state of Pará, fertilization with B has been randomly adopted, which negatively affects production (RIBEIRO, 2017).…”

“…It is important for cell wall and cytokinin formation, cell division, sugar metabolism and transportation, indole acetic acid (IAA) and ribose nucleic acid metabolism, seed germination and formation [8]. B helps to maintain the integrity of plant cell membranes, which increases the ability of membranes to transport essential nutrients, different B treatments had a substantial impact on micronutrient uptake [9].…”

Balanced nutrition is the key to higher quality crop production. Micronutrients, especially boron (B) have an important role in various physiological processes and stress tolerance while its deficiency could affect the yield and quality of crop plants. In this context, this study investigated the significance of foliar B application at various growth stages on maize yield components, yield, and grain B content. The treatments consisted of boron foliar application levels (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) at different growth stages (V4 = fourth leaf stage, V8 = eighth leaf stage and VT = tasseling stage) during summer 2021 and 2022. The results revealed that plant height, leaf area plant -1 , leaf area index, plants at harvest, ear length, grains ear -1 , thousand grains weight, shelling percentage, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index were increased with 1 % B foliar spray compared to other levels. In addition, ear length, grains ear -1 , thousand grains weight, shelling percentage, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index were increased with B foliar application at VT (tasseling stage) compared to other stages. It was concluded that the application of 1% foliar boron (1.28 kg B ha -1 ) i.e. 7.32 kg H 3 BO 3 at tasseling stage improved growth, yield and yield components of maize.
