Solubility and leaching of boron from borax and colemanite in flooded acidic soils

Boron (B) is a micronutrient essential for adequate plant growth. Borax (Na2B4O7·10H 2O) and colemanite (Ca2B6O11·5H 2O) are common B fertilizer materials, the former being widely used worldwide. Boron is completely water soluble and subjected to leaching. In this study, the dissolution kinetics of...
