Boron availability and fertilizer response of maize in soils from sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Low boron (B) availability is associated with strongly weathered, coarse‐textured, and low organic matter soils, widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). It is unknown to what extent B fertilization can increase maize yields in SSA.

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Effect of Phosphorus Fertilizer Placement Depth, Amount, and Soil Water Content on Early Maize Growth

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drought stress (DS) reduces soil phosphorus (P) availability by limiting P diffusion and uptake, while global P resource scarcity exacerbates nutrient limitations for crops. Aim This study investigated whether deep subsurface P placement could alleviate the combined effects of P deficiency and DS on maize growth.
