One of the key points is boron, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What signs will tell you that there is a lack of a substance?

Flowering can be quite promising.

Stepchildren

But in this case the situation is the opposite: the ovaries do not want to form, but there will be a large number of stepsons. It is always worth paying attention to this point.

Diseases and insects
