Le manque de bore cause la maladie du «cœur brun» ou «pourriture du cœur» de la betterave. Les feuilles du cœur se développent mal, brunissent et meurent. Une déficience grave se marque par un noircissement subséquent du tissu intérieur, sous la couronne des feuilles. Une vacuole noire se forme, progressant vers l'intérieur de la racine. Parfois, de petites feuilles déformées se développent sur les bords de la vacuole. Lutte : l'application de borax, à raison de 20 à 25 kg/ha, doit être effectuée avant semis ou après la levée. 1, record 2, French, - c%26oelig%3Bur%20brun

The colder the temperature the wider the cracks may open. Sudden drops in temperature do not appear to increase the appearance or width of cracks when compared with slow temperature changes. Soil moisture levels do not appear to affect ’frost cracking’ of previously ’frost crack’ injured trees, while wrapping or painting(using a white latex paint) appear to reduce this problem. In addition, wrapping and painting reduce sunscald, a trunk injury which may lead to frost cracking in future years. ’Frost cracks’ start from old wounds resulting from trunk injury, branch stubs, basal sprouts or root death. 1, record 3, English, - frost%20crack

Notre recherche ne nous a pas permis de retracer un découpage notionnel satisfaisant pour traduire «terminal weevil». On parlera donc tout simplement du charançon en mentionnant au besoin le spécifique (pin blanc, mélèze, sapin, etc.) que cette notion recouvre. Nous pourrions toutefois suggérer «charançon du conifère» puisque dans ce cas précis, ce type d'insecte s'attaque aux pins, épinettes et autres conifères. 2, record 4, French, - charan%C3%A7on
