Popis: Complexes formed by coating a soil polysaccharide fraction on illite, montmorillonite and kaolinite, substantially reduced boron adsorption by the clay minerals at approximately neutral pH. This suggests that boron retention in soils is influenced by the occurrence of stable polysaccharide-clay complexes. Key words: boron adsorption, organo-clay complex, soil polysaccharide
