The leaves of pepper plants provide a narrative to its nutrient needs. Boron deficiency often shows up in the leaves as loss of color, yellowing, and leaf cupping. Observation of plant leaves allows producers to gain early and valuable insights into plant nutrition. This proactive approach can let producers know that an application of boron may be needed.
Boron is an important micronutrient for the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes.
