Boron doses was applied at factorial design: 2 doses and a control, at two clonal test owned by the company, trees were planted at 3x3 m and 1,5x1,5 m each one. It was determined by a Kruskal Wallis non-parametric test, at 1,5x1,5 m place (high density), boron has a negative effect on growth trees because: confused effect with high competitions between trees, low natural abundance of boron at soils, and, boron on teak has a little/low-concentration element. At 3x3 m test, through ANOVA test, it was found an effect positive of boron’s doses: where 12 g/tree was better. While total height, doses of 6 g and 12 g/tree, promoted a significant superior growth in relation to the control. It is very important, to continue the measurements of both test, to determine the residual effect of boron application over time.
