Boron and Nutrient Cycling: Fourth and Final in the Series of “Unlocking Plant Root Potential: A Conversation with Dr. James White”

“As we wrap up the four-part series with Dr. James White, I wanted to circle the wagons and come back to boron and nutrient cycling to discuss how we can apply our learnings from Dr. White to boron deficiency and management strategies.

We know that boron deficiency is among the most widespread of all micronutrient deficiencies, and affects nearly all major crops grown around the world. We have also known, for some time, that soils play a major role in determining the plant availability of boron. So, how can we leverage what we have learned about the Rhizophagy Cycle and a plant’s ability to “farm” its own beneficial microbes?”
