Summary

Complete nutrient ± boron treatments were imposed on seedling and young oil palms growing in sand and water culture. A number of symptoms were observed on the boron-deficient palms, including the development of high endogenous auxin levels. The relation of morphological symptoms with IAA concentration is discussed. Comparisons were made of dry matter production, leaf area and leaf boron concentration.
