What are the effects of high levels of Boron in coffee ​plants?

Dominic Tramonte  Follow

Coffee is one of the crops most vulnerable to boron deficiency. Boron in coffee is required for coffee production to increase output and maintain healthy development through cell divisions and cell wall synthesis in conjunction with calcium, water uptake, root growth, internode growth, setting, calcium uptake, decreased aluminium toxicity, and drought tolerance. Terminal dieback and the appearance of crinkled leaf at the conclusion or beginning of the rainy season are both indicators that the coffee plants have a boron problem. Reduced boron absorption from the dry topsoil layers might produce these symptoms. Because soil-boron availability is reduced, problems may be more noticeable during blooming or after liming. Boron is commonly used in coffee to avoid branch dieback and other side effects.
