Title

Effects of Boron Application on Seed Yield and Yield- Related Traits in Kidney Bean

Ichi SASAKI; Takuya KITABATAKE; Toshiki MATSUI; et al. Japanese Journal of Crop Science 2026. doi:10.1626/jcs.95.104

Other claims from this paper (15)

Intervention effect In trial 1, the FTE plot (citrate-soluble boron) raised kidney bean yield by 12% over the untreated plot (mean of cultivars and years).
Intervention effect In trial 1, the Agri-Ace plot (citrate-soluble boron and zinc) raised kidney bean yield by 9% over the untreated plot.
Intervention effect In trial 1, the water-soluble plot (water-soluble boron and zinc) raised kidney bean yield by 14% over the untreated plot.
Intervention effect Yield did not differ with or without zinc in the fertilizer materials.
Association Post-harvest soil content of boron alone showed a significant positive correlation with yield.
Mechanism The yield increase is considered to come from increased boron uptake.
Intervention effect At Ebetsu, yield peaked at boron application rates of 360-720 g/10 a.
Intervention effect At Obihiro, yield peaked at a boron application rate of 720 g/10 a.
Intervention effect Yield decreased at boron application rates of 1080 g/10 a or more.
Intervention effect The yield increase at the optimum boron rate relative to the untreated plot was mainly due to an increase in node number.
Intervention effect The yield decrease at 1080 g/10 a or more of boron was mainly due to fewer pods per node.
Observation At Ebetsu, post-harvest soil boron content exceeded the upper diagnostic limit of 1.3 ppm at 1080 g/10 a or more.
Observation At Obihiro, post-harvest soil boron content exceeded the upper diagnostic limit of 1.3 ppm at 1440 g/10 a.
Recommendation Applying about 360-720 g/10 a of boron is recommended as effective for increasing kidney bean yield.
Recommendation At this rate boron accumulation is not worrying, and continued application to kidney bean in a 3-4 year rotation is considered unproblematic.

Birgit W. Hütsch; Muhammad Saqib; Tanja Osthushenrich; et al. Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science 2014. doi:10.1002/jpln.201300345

Other claims from this paper (9)

Intervention effect Salt stress significantly reduced maize grain yield.
Observation No assimilate source limitation was observed under salt stress.
Intervention effect Salt stress significantly increased kernel sucrose concentrations in both genotypes.
Intervention effect Salt stress significantly decreased kernel glucose and fructose concentrations.
Intervention effect Salt stress significantly inhibited soluble acid invertase activity to 19% in hydroponics five days after pollination.
Intervention effect Salt stress significantly inhibited soluble acid invertase activity to 50% in soil culture two days after pollination.
Observation The decrease in enzyme activity was equal in both genotypes.
Observation Pioneer 3906 had its highest soluble acid invertase activity at 2 DAP in soil, followed by a steep decline to 8 DAP.
Mechanism Decreased acid invertase activity is interpreted as a key factor limiting kernel setting under salt stress, with additional factors potentially explaining genotype differences.
