Effect of Boron on Barley Germination and Malting

Year: 1970

Type: article

Abstract: Following reports of increasing concentrations of boron, essentially as borate, in water supplies, the effect of boron on barley germination, enzyme development in malting and the analysis of the malts has been examined. At concentrations up to 100 p.p.m. boron has no effect on the germination of either mature or water-sensitive barley, but root growth and α-amylase development are reduced.
