After reviewing briefly the presence of B in the soil and its role in plants, this paper reviews work done on plant available B in the soils of Nepal. Nepalese farmers cultivate their land very intensively and grow two or three crops a year from the same piece of land and harvest everything above ground. Very little residue is left to go back to the soil. Results of such practices are showing up in patches in many parts of Nepal where stunted plant growth with reduced yields have been frequent even with an adequate supply of N, P, and K fertilizers. Visible symptoms of nutrient deficiencies are being observed in Nepal. Deficiencies of Boron (B), Mo, and Mg are suspected in maize. Similarly, the deficiencies of B and Mo in cauliflower have been observed
