The study of zonal deposition of boron (Figure 3) suggests the use of this procedure for investigating the role of boron in plant nutrition, especially for determining translocation rates and tissue concentrations. As a survey procedure it should serve effectively for classifying the boron-supplying power of the various soils of an area, by analysis of a single plant species growing generally upon them.
