The dynamics and transformations of micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, B and Mo) in soils, are
governed by various factors like pH, EC, soil organic matter etc. Soil organic matter (SOM) is …

Boron (B) is an essential element for higher plants, while it becomes toxic when present in
excessive concentrations. Many approaches have been developed to alleviate B toxicity in …

Half of the world's population-more than 3.5 billion people-depend on rice for more than
20% of their daily energy requirements. Rice productivity is under threat for several reasons …

Water shortage and low organic carbon content in soil limit soil fertility and crop productivity.
The use of desalinated seawater is increasing as an alternative source of irrigation water …

A new hybrid gel with boron-selective functional groups is prepared with tetraethoxysilane
(TEOS),(3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTMS), and a new precursor (W) synthesized …

Boron (B) availability is regulated by its equilibrium concentration that in turn is buffered by
adsorption and desorption reactions. Ionic strength, pH, OM content, and the type and …

The influences of specific soil components such as organic matter and oxides of Fe and Mn
on B adsorption characteristics are not understood well. In the present study, we compared …

Half of the world's population—more than 3.5 billion people—depend on rice for more than
20% of their daily energy requirements. Rice productivity is under threat for several reasons …

Modern white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) cultivars have high concentrations of erucic acid and
glucosinolates. The progress in the breeding and cultivation of oilseed crops has contributed …

Temporary B deficiency can be triggered by liming of acid soils because of increased B
adsorption at higher soil pH. Plants respond directly to the activity of B in soil solution and …
