Abstract
In previous glasshouse studies and field observations, severe B deficiency symptoms in leaves were associated with periods of high light intensity (Cakmak et al., 1995; Noppakoonwong et al., 1993; Warington, 1933). Tanaka (1966) reported that B deficiency symptoms increased with increasing light intensity in Lemna paucicostata. Shading (35% full sunlight) treatment in the glasshouse decreased the critical B concentration for leaf blade elongation of black gram from 15 mg B kg−1 dry matter (at 75 % full sunlight) to about 10 mg B kg−1 dry matter (Noppakoonwong et al., 1993). However, the above studies did not identify whether high light intensity increases plant external or internal B requirements, or both.
