Barley variety "Mystery" is characterized by high sensitivity to the content of microelements in the soil, especially boron. Excessive amounts of boron applied to the soil can lead to toxicity, negatively affecting plant health. As a result of increased concentration of this microelement, leaves turn yellow and stems elongate, indicating crop damage.
Boron is a mobile element in the soil, and its excessive amount may move deeper into the root zone under the influence of precipitation. This facilitates the penetration of toxic levels of boron to the barley roots, causing disturbances in plant development and growth. Such changes reduce overall productivity and quality of the harvest.
For successful cultivation of barley "Mystery," it is necessary to carefully monitor the boron level in the soil and avoid excessive application. Proper agronomic support and soil condition monitoring will help prevent toxic effects and ensure healthy crop growth, contributing to a stable and high-quality harvest.
