Fertilizing is an art form for anyone deeply involved in agriculture. The balance of nutrients, the type of fertilizers, and their application methods can make or break your yield. If you're specifically looking for a boron fertilizer for foliar application, U.S. Borax is here to help you understand why
Solubor might be an excellent fit for your needs.
Scientific research over the years has studied the patterns of absorption, partitioning, and remobilization of nutrients in soybean cultivation. In recent years, studies have shown that the potential for nutrient accumulation—including boron—has increased significantly due to current high productivity levels.
Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring, toxic heavy metal dispersed in the environment through a variety of industrial, mining, and agricultural activities. High levels of arsenic can cause toxicity in cultivated plants and potential soil pollution.
For a century, we've known that boron is an essential nutrient for plants. But what we’ve recently learned is that boron can play a key role in aiding plants with drought resistance.
Katherine Warington was a pioneering scientist whose work on boron and its importance in plant nutrition has had a lasting impact on the field of agriculture.
Boron deficiency can significantly affect crop yields. This is especially prevalent in South America, particularly agriculture-rich Brazil, where most soils test at low levels of boron.
Arsenic is a chemical element occurring in metals that can be found in soils and is harmful to healthy plant growth. That is why it is important for fertilizer applications to contain arsenic levels that are as low as possible.
In my first borates primer post, I discussed the different types of borates, solubility by type, and the types of borax U.S. Borax produces. In this post, I’ll cover how borate solubility affects plant absorption and recent research in the field.
Soybeans, like all legumes, have a high boron requirement, necessitating pre- and in-season monitoring via both soil and foliar testing.
The majority of researchers and farmers have recognized the importance of boron in agriculture. Boron is necessary for proper plant nutrition.
