Abstract
In the past 30 years, research on plant boron (B) nutrition has progressed significantly and the application of B fertilizer has become a standard measure in many B deficient regions. In China, this promoted the development of agriculture, especially the production of cotton and oilseed rape. In this paper, we will review the respective progress and report about the Chinese studies on the physiological function of B, diagnosis of B status of plants and techniques of B fertilizer application.
