Boron deficiency in leguminous crops

Apart from the normal boron requirement for growth and development, these plants have a special boron requirement for nodulation and nitrogen fixation, both of which are normally impaired in boron-deficient plants. As in most plants, boron deficiency has a marked effect on root growth and this in itself is likely to reduce nodulation.
