Article Abstract
Introduction: Boron is an essential trace element for plant growth and development, playing a critical role in flowering, fruit setting, nutrient transport, and stress resistance in crops. Buckwheat is an important coarse grain crop, and its yield and quality are easily affected by boron nutritional status.
Methods: In order to identify the optimal concentration of boron fertilizer to maximize growth and yield of buckwheat, pot experiments and field trials were carried out at different mass concentrations of boron fertilizer solution: 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 mg/L.
Results: The results showed that 48 mg/L boron fertilizer solution promoted seed germination and seedling growth of Suqiao 1, whereas 24 mg/L boron fertilizer solution had the best effect on seed germination and seedling growth of 1412-69. Moreover, the levels of activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) of Suqiao 1 seedlings were highest under the 48 mg/L boron fertilizer treatment, and those in 1412-69 were highest under the 24 mg/L treatment. The highest grain yield and grain quality of Suqiao 1 were found at a boron concentration of 48 mg/L, whereas grain yield and quality of 1412-69 were maximized at a concentration of 24 mg/L.
Discussion: In summary, boron fertilizer solutions at optimal concentrations can effectively stimulate buckwheat seed germination and seedling growth and thus enhance buckwheat yield.

With the rapid economic development of coastal cities, the discharge of significant amounts of heavy metal pollutants has posed a severe threat to mangrove forests. However, the potential sources of these metals and the health risks they pose remain poorly understood. This study analyzed 14 heavy metals in mangrove and river sediments of Zhangjiang Estuary, southeastern China.

Macadamia (), and hybrids, a crop of high economic and nutritional importance, faces challenges with low fruit set rates and severe fruit drop. To address this, we investigated the effects of exogenous plant growth regulators (PGRs) and boron fertilizer on the development, fruit set, and yield of the A4 macadamia variety. The study was conducted in 2024 at the Lujiangba research base (China, Yunnan Province).

Boron is a critical yet poorly understood micronutrient, especially regarding its transport within plant leaves. Little research has been done to enhance the bioavailability of Boron in rice using organic compounds like fulvic acid for better nutrient quality and yield. While fulvic acid (FA) is well-known for enhancing the mobility of metallic nutrients like iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), however, its role in facilitating Boron, a metalloid, remains unclear.

The food crisis in Peru has intensified due to the increase in the costs of raw materials, such as energy sources, fertilizers, and other industrial inputs, as a result of global socioeconomic instability. For this reason, research was conducted on the antioxidant in relation to nutrition, stomatal density, and yield in cilantro nourished with compost leachate based on vegetable waste (CLPW). The objective was to analyze the antioxidants in relation to nutrition, stomatal density, and the yield of cilantro nourished with CLPW.
