Boron Deficiency in Buffel Grass

Boron deficiency in buffel grass typically has the following symptoms:

• Newly emerging leaves fail to unroll
• Leaves remain white, wither, and then die back from the tip
• Tips of older leaves may also die back
• Leaf margins may crack and white streaks, which coalesce, often develop between the veins
• Plants are likely to be stunted but no reduction in tillering is expected
