Boron’s Importance in Plant Development and Growth: A review

Abstract

Interdict of hydrogen ion deliver due to boron draw up and amends in plant substrate demonstrated boron association in cell wall actions it's a unique micronutrient depends for common plant growth and optimum yield of crops. Its concentration in soil and plant not only varies with soil, plant, but also its overdose or defect, may affect the plant growth and production. Boron in soils gradually influence by several factors among of its, soil pH, organic matter, nutrient interactions, and plant species. Deficiencies of boron cause a reduction of yield production and quality. However, the toxicity was gradually observed in the presence of Ca application. Function of boron in plant observed in cell division, seed development and sugar transport in plant. Plant needs trace amount of boron for plant growth as compared with primary nutrients. The aim of this review is to understand the physiological duty of boron element in plants.

Structural Elucidation of Borate Glasses by Spectroscopic and SEM Studies

“…1). The FTIR spectroscopy of borate containing compounds has vibrational modes mainly active in three infrared spectral regions (i) 1600-1200 cm -1 group of bands which are due to the asymmetric stretching relaxation of B-O bond of trigonal BO3 units (ii) bands in the range 1200-800 cm -1 due to B-O bond stretching of tetrahedral BO4 units and (iii) peaks around 700 cm -1 due to bending of B-O-B linkages in the borate networks [3]. The bands in the range 3600-3200 cm -1 are attributed to the hydroxyl or water groups originating from molecular water [4].…”

Status and Forms of Sulphur in Soils of Wudil and Gaya, Kano State, Nigeria.

“…For instance, the amount of Sulphur required to produce one ton of seed is about 3-4 kg Sulphur for cereals; 8 kg Sulphur for legume crops; and 12 kg Sulphur for oil crops. (Abou Seeda et al, 2020). Majority of the crops cultivated in Gaya and Wudil farms are sorghum, millet and cowpea with few vegetables.…”

Heavy metals, Sources, Chemistry, risks and best applicable approach for remediation of contaminated soils: A review

“…Most metals do not undergo microbial or chemical degradation (Kirpichtchikova et al, 2012), and their total concentration in soils persists for a long time after their introduction (Adriano et al, 2003). Heavy metal soil csontamination can present risks and dangers to animals and the ecosystem through immediate intake or contact with contaminated soil, food chain, soil-contaminated water drinking, and food quality decrease (McLaughlin et al, 2001;Ling et al, 2007); Abou seeda et al, 1997 andAbou Seeda et al, 2019) reported that major frequent contaminants in soil are heavy metals that may be responsible for detrimental health effects.…”
