This function calculates the boron availability.

Usage

osi_c_boron_uk(
  B_LU,
  B_TEXTURE_HYPRES,
  A_SOM_LOI,
  A_PH_CC,
  A_B_HW,
  unitcheck = TRUE
)

Arguments

B_LU

(numeric) The crop code

B_TEXTURE_HYPRES

(character) The soil texture according to HYPRES classification system

A_SOM_LOI

(numeric) The percentage organic matter in the soil

A_PH_CC

(numeric) The acidity of the soil, measured in 0.01M CaCl2 (-)

A_B_HW

(numeric) The plant available content of B in the soil (mg B per kg) extracted by hot water

unitcheck

(character) Option to switch off unit checks (TRUE or FALSE)

Value

The boron availability index in UK derived from extractable soil B fractions. A numeric value.

Examples

osi_c_boron_uk(B_LU = 'testcrop1',B_TEXTURE_HYPRES='C',A_SOM_LOI=3,
A_PH_CC = 4,A_B_HW = 50)
#> [1] 1
osi_c_boron_uk(B_LU = c('testcrop1','testcrop2'),B_TEXTURE_HYPRES = c('C','F'),
A_SOM_LOI = c(3,3),A_PH_CC = c(4,6),A_B_HW = c(35,55))
#> [1] 1 1
