Boron deficiency-Strawberries

Symptoms
Damage on floral organs and flower abortion. Poor fruit set leads to fruit malformation or bumpiness. Severe deficiency ultimately produces smaller, softer fruit and a lower yield.

Reasons
Boron deficiency. B undersupply commonly results from restricted availibility due to high pH or B leaching from sandy soils.

Symptoms
Interveinal chlorosis starting from leaf margins. Bronzing, especially of leaf veins, may occur on the extreme edges.

Reasons
Boron deficiency. B undersupply commonly results from restricted availibility due to high pH or B leaching from sandy soils.

Symptoms
Interveinal chlorosis starting from leaf margins. Bronzing, especially of leaf veins, may occur on the extreme edges of medium aged leaves. Youngest leaves may show dark, necrotic tips or margins on otherwise dark green tissue. Damage on floral organs and flower abortion. Poor fruit set leads to fruit malformation or bumpiness. Severe deficiency ultimately produces smaller, softer fruit and a lower yield. Root growth can be reduced with stunted, stubby and brown lateral roots.

Symptoms
Youngest leaves may show dark, necrotic tips or margins on otherwise dark green tissue. Leaf size is severely stunted.

Reasons
Boron deficiency (right). B undersupply commonly results from restricted availibility due to high pH or B leaching from sandy soils. Necrotic leaf tips can also be a symptom of calcium deficiency.

Poor growth with premature flowering. Leaf size is severely stunted.
