In crop nutrition management, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) usually receive the most attention. However, boron (B), despite being required in very small quantities, plays an equally indispensable role in plant growth and development. As an essential plant micronutrient, boron is involved in several critical physiological processes, including cell wall formation, growing point development, carbohydrate transport, pollen germination, and reproductive growth.
