## Abstract A routine method has been developed for the determination of boron in plant and soil samples. The boron in the prepared samples is converted into BF~4~β in a H~2~SO~4~βHF system, then extracted as a coloured complex with AzureβC (or mthylne blue) into dichloroethane and finally determin

β¦ Synopsis
A sensitive and precise method based on microdiffusion is proposed for the determination of traces of boron in plants. A sealed digestion bomb is used; the powdered sample is dissolved in ZnCl,/AlCl, solution containing methanol in the teflon vessel and the trimethyl borate formed is collected in sodium hydroxide pellets. The boron, as an ion-associate of the 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid complex and malachite green, is extracted into chlorobenzene. At 629 run, Beer's law is obeyed for the range 0.05-0.5 pg of boron. The accuracy of the proposed method was confirmed by analyzing the Orchard Leaves and Pepperbush standards.
