Summary

The effect of boron nutrition on the susceptibility of young tenera oil palm seedlings to red spider mite attack was studied. Highest concentrations of mites were recorded in seedlings which had received little or no boron in the growing media. Injuries by mites were greatest when the leaves had the highest number of mites per unit area, the lowest boron concentration and the lowest concentration of cyanidin.
