Boron deficiency in Lotononis bainesii

The primary symptoms of boron deficiency in Lotononis bainesii include:

  • Thick and dark green young leaves
  • Misshapen and unevenly sized lateral leaflets
  • Leaflets curling backwards
  • In older leaves, some veinal chlorosis can occur followed by loss of turgor

In addition, many new but malformed shoots are likely to form. Leaves may show red pigmentation around the leaf margin. And, root growth is stunted with the roots thick and dark in color.
