Summary

A marked decrease in the content of various amino acids was observed when the boron concentration was increased from 0.5 to 2.0 ppm particularly at low value of SAR and low level of conductivity. At medium level of conductivity alongwith low level of boron increase in value of SAR definitely suppressed the content of lysine, arginine plus histidine, aspartic acid plus glutamine, threonine plus alanine, proline and cystine in plants. Increase in levels of conductivity specially at low value of SAR and low level of boron substantially affected the content of lysine, arginine plus histidine, aspartic acid plus glutamine, threonine plus alanine, proline and cystine.
