Abstract

In Brazil, this deficiency is habitual in 'cerrados' soils. Sunflower is one of the most sensitive to this deficiency and presents low efficiency in boron utilization. This literature review has the purpose to show aspects of sunflower, cerrados soils, boron in plant and in soil, visual symptoms, correction of boron deficiency and genetic control.
