Studies on Boron Fractions with Different Physico-Chemical Properties of Cultivated Soils of Himachal Pradesh, India

Depth Wise Distribution of Boron in Some Soils of Red and Laterite Zone of West Bengal, India

“…This fraction has significant positive correlation with Hot water soluble B and residual B fraction (Table 3). So this fraction has a contribution to plant available form of B. Kusum Kumari et al, (2017) also observed significant and positive correlation among these fractions. The oxide bound B also significantly and positively correlated with pH, clay, available N, P, Mn, Fe and amorphous Fe and Al oxides.…”

“…Both the fractions significantly and positively correlated (r=0.693**) with each other means there is a dynamic equilibrium between these two fractions. Kusum Kumari et al, (2017) also found significant positive relation (r=0.980**) between readily soluble B and specifically adsorbed B. Both readily soluble B and specifically adsorbed B have significant and positive correlation with available N(r=0.584* and 0.652**), P (r=0.672** and 696**) and amorphous Fe (r=0.618* and 0.726**), Al (r=0.561* and 0.719**).…”

Boron Characterization, Distribution in Particle-Size Fractions, and Its Adsorption-Desorption Process in a Semiarid Tunisian Soil

“…e greater CEC values recorded at the surface might be due to the higher OM content. Mahajan et al [16] and Kumari et al [17] reported a similar relationship. e examination of B distribution in the studied soil showed an increase in the available B content as we moved from surface horizon A p (0.64 mg/kg) to the deep horizon C2 (0.74 mg/kg).…”

“…e results reflected a significant and positive-correlated relationship between the available B and the clay fraction (r 2 � 0.64 at p < 0.05). Kumari et al [17] found a similar correlation. e authors revealed that finetextured soils usually contain more available B than coarsetextured soils.…”

“…Indeed, the majority of previous studies [26] attested that the clay fraction has more contribution to the B content of soils. Kumari et al [17] and Anitha et al [27] revealed that all B fractions showed a positive correlation with clay content, namely, the readily soluble one (r 2 � 0.88 at p < 0.01 and r 2 � 0.474 at p < 0.05). However, few studies are in line with what we found [17].…”
