Today, we're going to talk about boron deficiency in woody plants.

Boron is an essential element for higher plant growth and development. It helps to strengthen the cell walls and controls porosity.

Boron-efficient trees have a high proportion of non-cell wall boron, which is available for cytolysis under boron-sufficient conditions. In boron-deficient plants and trees, a high proportion of cell wall boron is missing in the structure of the cell walls. Boron deficiency is common among the majority of plants. It especially constrains the growth and development of agriculture and forestry due to the lack of boron uptake from the soil.
