Sažetak
Although 75 years have passed since that first evidence that boron (B) is an essential element for higher plants (Warington 1923), a definitive primary function of B in plants in not yet clearly revealed. B shows some of the most distinct and typical effects on cell elongation and cell division, tissue differentiation, menbrane permeability, pollen germination and pollen tube growth (Marschner 1990). In general, low B contents in soil are in connection with high levels of Ca, while B toxicity is a common problem in arid and semiarid regions of the world (Gupta 1979). B supply could be especially important for seed production of crops including those of moderate B needs, for example corn. Because of considerable response of plant genotypes to B (Mozafara 1989), we tested response of five corn genotypes to B fertilization. They were found considerable response of corn to B fertilization both on the level of genotypes and soil types. We recommend B fertilization for seed-corn crop, especially under conditions of moderate B supplies and/or growing of more susceptible genotypes.
