The boron concentration in soil extracts and ashed plant tissue was quantified with a rapid and reproducible microplate assay. The microsized azomethine-H method required adjustment to reduce pH and chemical interferences in soil and plant tissue samples. Microplate spectrophotometry permits replication and quality control and is suitable for high-throughput analysis.
