Calcium and boron as essential factors in the root environment
1948
Haynes, J.L. | Robbins, W.R.
Work with tomato plants has shown that both calcium and boron are necessary components of the root environment wherever roots are in contact with water. Several species of crop plants were grown with one portion of the root system in soil and the other portion in a solution consisting of calcium chloride and boric acid in distilled water. In all species tested, both portions of the root maintained their functional integrity. The significance of these results with respect to liming practices is discussed.
