“…However, in these studies, only leaf analyses were used without consideration of soil B. In general, correlation of soil B data with nutritional status of tree crops and especially of apple trees is rare (14). Recent research in Greek soils has proved that soil B analysis by the same methods evaluated in this study can effectively be used for prognosis of nutritional status, even of tree crops like olive trees and kiwi fruit, whereas other methods such as dilute HCl and resin methods, also proved to be effective (11,15,16).…”

Soil boron (B) available to plants can be determined by using several methods. This study evaluated the efficiency of hot water extraction, saturation paste, resin, mannitol, and hydrochloric acid methods for determination of soil B available to two apple tree varieties (Malus domestica, var. golden and black). Soil samples from 26 sites where the golden and black apple varieties were growing in northern Greece were collected and analyzed for B by these five procedures. Boron concentration in apple tree leaves from these sites was also determined. Hot water extractable boron (HwsB) was strongly correlated with B extracted by mannitol (Man-B) and HCl (HCl-B). Soil B extracted by all the methods was significantly correlated with B concentration in apple tree leaves of both varieties, except golden in the case of the saturation paste method. Boron extracted with use of the resin method correlated best with leaf B for both varieties followed by the mannitol and HCl methods. Resin-extractable soil B concentrations causing deficiency and toxicity were 1.20 and 5.19 mg kg 21 soil, respectively. For the other methods, soil B concentrations corresponding to B toxicity in these apple varieties ranged from 4.0 to 6.0 mg B kg 21 soil.

“…In general, plant scientists describe boron toxicity as accelerated plant senescence. Their reports are widespread and apply to numerous species (5)(6)(7). For example in pear trees, 0.14 ppm boron in the soil resulted in normal tree growth, whereas 0.56 ppm resulted in shoot dieback (6).…”

Abstract. In the late 1980s, citrus plantations in the area of Villarreal (Spain) showed injuries similar to those previously reported for boron and fluorine toxicity. The area was affected by the disposal of industrial wastewater, mainly from ceramic industries. Conjunctive uses of surface water, groundwater and wastewater for irrigation had taken place. A survey was conducted at 25 orchards to assess leaves and soil for their boron, fluorine, lead, nickel and zinc contents. Wastewater and groundwater were also analyzed to corroborate the presence of these pollutants. The results showed that both boron and fluorine contents were greater than those reported as excess at the most part of the orchards included in the study. Heavy metals toxicity effects were not confirmed. Boron pollution was attributed to industrial wastewater spills and fluorine contamination from atmospheric pollution.
