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
