The economic significance of boron (B) in agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry has been beyond dispute for several
decades. Even in the last two decades, the areas where B deficiency
limits plant production has grown with increased reports from
China, south Asia and southeast Asia. The present volume is
reflective of the growing awareness of the significance of low soil
B with reports from Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, north, central
and southern China, India, Nepal, and the North West Frontier
Province of Pakistan contained herein. Boron deficiency also
continues to be a problem for crop yield and quality in areas where
B deficiency has been known for some time, for example in Germany
and the USA. The problem of low soil B is not limited to effects on
field crop yield, with papers reporting on depressed wood yield and
quality in timber trees (Lambert et al. ), and depressed fruit
quality (Dong et al. ; Smith et al. : Zude et al. ) also appearing
in the present volume. Globally, Shorrocks (1997)1 estimates that
?? tonnes of B fertiliser is applied annually in agriculture. The
economic benefits from the use of B fertiliser have not been
quantified but are clearly enormous. Paradoxically, the clear
economic imperatives for using B fertiliser on low B soils are not
matched by a similar clarity of understanding of the role and
functions of B in plants.
