Boron Deficiency -- Problem During Dry Season : Ottawa, May 16, 1956 -- The 1955 growing season was the hottest and driest experienced in many years by orchardists in the principal apple growing areas of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, According to H. B. Heeney, Horticulture Division, Cent- ral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, nu- tritional problems not normally pro- minent in seasons of adequate or near adequate moisture conditions became quite important in such hot, dry per- iggs. One such problem noted in 1955 was the increased incidence of boron deficiency. In comparison to plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and po- tassium, the quantities of boron in Ontario and Quebec soils are relative. ly small. Consequently any factor such as low moisture conditions can readily deprive the plant roots of the ability to forage for sufficient boron to carry on normal growth. During the 1955 season tests indicated that orchards on rather shallow soils prone to drought effects, or orchards onl soils containing only sufficient bor- on for a season with near normal precipitation, were frequently affect- ed by boron deficiency. Consequent- ly such symptoms as drought spot ahd corky-core were common. The Cortland variety in particular seemed to be the most seriously affected in 1955 and in some cases symptoms ap- peared even though there had been no previous history of boron deficien- cy in the orchard. While it seems apparent that drought was responsible for the de- ficiency in certain instances in some orchards, it is equally apparent that some attempt should be made to raise the level of boron in those or- chards to prevent a recurrence of the problem. It is suggested that any grower knowing of deficiency symp- toms of boron in the fruit at harvest in 1955, or any grower who suspeets that" such a problem existed shauld seek advice on control measures. The apple has a limited tolerance for hor- on and consequently toxic levels can become a problem unless control mea- | sures are handled properly. For this reason, growers who had such a drought Induced boron problem in thelr orchards in 1955 should contact their agricultural representative or other qualified worker familiar with the problem and obtain the necessary procedures to follow in the applica- tion of boron to their orchards. / * $2.00 per year.
