Extract

1. Dressings of 12–100 lb. borax per acre resulted in marked temporary ‘yellowing’ of bean seedlings. Dressings of 25 lb. or more depressed the stand and reduced the yield.

2. Determinations were made to ascertain the distribution of boron within the treated plants and to measure the uptake of boron from the soil. The relevant figures are quoted in the text.
