Boron (B) deficiency is a common phenomenon in most tobacco-planting areas in Yunnan, China. In 2020 and 2022, hydroponic experiments that contained B in a concentration gradient of 0.000, 0.125, 0.250, 0.750, 5.000, 10.000, 20.000, and 40.000 mmol L−1 were conducted to investigate tobacco cultivar...
