Synopsis After each of 4 annual applications on 6 Alabama soils, boron did not accumulate in the surface 12 inches of coarse‐textured soils, but did in fine‐textured soils. Crimson clover seed yield increases were highest with the first 10‐lbs. rate of borax per year on coarse‐textured soils. Four annual 30‐lb. applications on crimson clover were not toxic to soybeans and cotton following the clover.
