Experiments of application of chelate-rare-earth boron to ramie plants werecarried out in 1987 and 1988 in the Experimental Farm, Ramie Research Institute, HunanAgricultral College. The results show that both newly planted and well-growing ramie plantshave increased yield and yarn number. The 1 / 10~4 RE-1 / 10~3 B solution treatment has gi-ven the best results. Proper amount of chelate-rare-earth-boron increases the content ofchrolophyll, solusugar; raises the rate of total and net photosynthesis and the intensity ofrespiration, thus improves the relationship brtween the factors of yield and ...
