Boron has been universally recognized as the most important micronutrient for cotton production. It is essential at all stages of plant growth, and critically so during fruit development - especially with today’s fast-fruiting, high-yielding varieties. University research shows that as little as one pound of boron can increase seed cotton yield by more than 500 pounds per acre. Supplying adequate boron will help cotton: Develop and retain more squares. Increase bloom pollination and boll set. Move nutrients and sugars from leaves to the fruit. Produce strong, well-developed fibers. Speed maturity.
