Agriculture needs to become increasingly efficient to feed a growing population. As an essential element for crop growth, boron has a vital role to play.

Research in California has shown that foliar applications of Solubor increased pistachio yields. The best time for foliar application is from the late dormant to the early bud stages. Soil applications of boron are not as effective as foliar applications in supplying sufficient boron for flowering.
Plant analysis is a valuable tool in determining the general nutritional status of crops during the growing season. Accurate data requires careful collection and handling of tissue samples. Knowledge of the normal boron sufficiency range in a given crop helps interpret the results and diagnose possible boron deficiency.
The true cost of using less expensive borates: Price per pound of plant available boron
A summary of U.S. Borax's agriculture product portfolio--Anhybor, Granubor, Fertibor, Liquibor, Optibor for ag, Solubor, Solubor Flow, and Zincubor.
Not all boron sources are created equal. At U.S. Borax, our products are fully refined to remove impurities and maximize potential plant uptake.
Boron nutrition is a special concern in crop production. Growers want to ensure that the available boron supply is sufficient for optimum nutrition but not so high as to result in reduced yields from an over-supply.
Cotton is a crop that is very sensitive to boron deficiency. Read the research on how borate fertilizers can help increase your cotton yield.
West Java, Indonesia (2011): Yield increase of 8-20%
Mekong Delta, Vietnam (2018-2019): Average yield increase of 10%
Soil testing is helpful in assessing the potential boron-supplying capacity of the soil. Research has shown that three commonly used soil tests, the Mehlich-1 and -3 tests and the DTPA test modified to include sorbitol, also may be used to determine available boron in soils.
Solubor is an excellent boron source for inclusion in liquid fertilizers because it is readily soluble and does not react with other components of these fertilizers.
When you need a boron fertilizer for foliar application, you need to make sure you’re getting Solubor from U.S. Borax.
U.S. Borax is committed to supporting growers, agronomists, and distributors in Latin America, using high-quality, refined borates and expert agricultural education and advice.
Solubor is manufactured to combine the highest concentration of boron with the maximum possible dispersion and solubility in water. It has a number of different uses in agro-industrial markets, in addition to its long established role in farm sprays.
