Three distinct stages of flower cluster abscission were identified
prior to fertilization: flowers which did not begin development (stage
1), flowers which had begun development (stage II) and clusters which
had begun ...
Foliar B sprays have increased fruit set in 'Italian' prune
(Prunus domestica L.) by 2 fold in some trials and had no effect
in others. This work was conducted to identify reasons for this
inconsistent response. Since ...
Boron deficiency or toxicity can reduce yield and
quality of vegetables. Seven vegetable crops, varying from
low to high boron requirements were grown in field plots at
Corvallis in 1987. Leaf-B and yield components o ...
An investigation of the effects of soil and foliar applications
of boron and of time of foliar application of boron on
growth, yield, and boron content of bush snap beans was made
during the 1962 growing season. This ...
Five boron rates and seven water levels were applied
to bush green beans (Phaseolus vulqaris cv Oregon 91G) and
to cauliflower (Brassica olereacea var. botrytis, cultivar
"Snowball Y") in 1989 and 1990 to evaluate the ...
This paper records a series of experiments conducted furing a one-year period to determine the effects of boron upon the growth and fruiting of Marshall and Corvallis strawberries, two of the leading commercial varieties ...
Boron sprays produced fruit set increases in 'Barcelona'
hazelnut orchards in 1984 and in 1985. The absolute fruit set was
correlated with leaf B content but not with nut B. With relative
fruit set (RFS), B content of ...
