For some there is not much leeway between necessary and toxic amounts; other plants require or tolerate large amounts. Deficiency symptoms vary with the crop... Beets, turnips, other root crops. Black Heart, Brown Heart. Roots have dark spots; plants are gradually stunted and dwarfed; leaves are small, variegated, twisted. The interior of the beet or turnip has a dark brown to nearly black water-soaked area, sometimes with a hollow center. The amount of borax that can be added without injury depends on type of soil and moisture content. 1, record 2, English, - brown%20heart

Parfois, de petites feuilles déformées se développent sur les bords de la vacuole.

En la pared de la cavidad, ocasionalmente se puede formar una capa suberizada, parecida a la piel del tubérculo. El corazón hueco está asociado con periodos de rápido crecimiento del tubérculo y deficiencia de potasio.
