AGRICULTURE


Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants, vital to their growth and development. Without sufficient boron, plant fertilization, seeding and fruiting are not possible.

On every continent of the world, crop yields and food quality are diminished due to insufficient boron concentrations in the soil. These deficiencies can be corrected with borate fertilizers, produced to meet farmers' varied needs and application methods. In areas of acute deficiency, borates can increase crop yields by 30 to 40 percent.
