Abstract
Tomato seedlings (40) were grown until blossoming time in a nutrient sol. containing B; they were then divided into 2 groups and transferred to fresh media identical except for the omission of B from 1 group. This group showed less top growth, death of leaves, and fewer (and diseased) fruits set.. A constant supply of B is shown to be necessary for normal growth.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
