Cotton - Chlorosis

Symptoms
Young leaves show a diffuse interveinal chlorosis. Subsequently necrotic, sunken patches appear on the marginal or interveinal area.

Reasons
Boron deficiency B leaching from sandy soils, but also reduced uptake in dry periods may cause Boron undersupply.

Reasons
Boron deficiency B leaching from sandy soils, but also reduced uptake in dry periods may cause Boron undersupply.

Boron deficiency made worse by

  • Sandy soils
  • Alkaline soils
  • Soils low in organic matter
  • High levels of nitrogen
  • High levels of calcium
  • Cold wet weather
  • Periods of drought

Boron is important for

  • Better boll set
  • Increased yields
