The answer to your question concerning Boron and BER is yes. If Boron is deficient it can cause BER. The deficiency symptoms of Boron and Calcium are very similar. There is strong evidence that the two elements are very likely related in plant functions and growth.
When the calcium supply is low, plants have a lower tolerance for boron, and the reverse is also true. Thus, when the supply of calcium is high, there will be a demand for extra boron. Ami
