Effect of boron nutrition on intensity of red spider mite attack on oil palm seedlings. Experimental Agriculture, 11 (1): 59-63.
Abstract
The effect of B nutrition on the susceptibility of young tenera seedlings to Tetranychus piercei attack was studied. The highest concentrations of mites were recorded in seedlings which had received little or no B in the growing media. Injuries by mites were greatest when the leaves had the highest number of mites per unit area, the lowest B concentration, the lowest concentration of cyanidin.
