Is it possible that what NC Extension is really saying is they don't have
the ability to accurately test for boron. Maybe you should try a private
soils laboratory like www.algreatlakes.com or www.kaglab.com . I suspect
they'll tell you a different story. Personally, and I have said this
before, I have learned to distrust university soils labs; I have used
several of them receiving less that favorable results. Though I have lost
confidence in the ones I've used, I hold the hope that some others are
reliable.
