From where your farm is located to the type of soil you have, many factors can affect boron levels. Learn more about what you need to ensure your soil’s boron levels are adequate for your crops.
Meet Fabiano Silvestrin, a global expert whose deep roots in agriculture and passion for learning drive innovative solutions in crop nutrition and market development.
Research has shown that the coffee plant is one of the most sensitive species to boron deficiency.
Investing in premium fertilizers can helps ensure a bountiful harvest. If you’re looking for both the best value and highest quality fertilizer for your fields, U.S. Borax’s unique refining process produces a superior boron over the competition.
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for all plant species. In agriculture, boron is one of the most deficient minerals in soil around the world.
Boron (B) deficiency is directly affected by boron mobility or immobility in plants. In those species in which boron is immobile in the phloem, foliar-applied boron will not be translocated from the site of application. This means there is not enough boron to adequately supply the plant cells that are required for tissue formation. In those species where boron is immobile via phloem, boron must be applied via soil.
European farmers have a new challenge: The Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), which states that no more than 65% of your annual consumption of a strategic raw materials, including borates, can come from a single third country.
The leaves of pepper plants provide a narrative to its nutrient needs. Boron deficiency often shows up in the leaves as loss of color, yellowing, and leaf cupping. Observation of plant leaves allows producers to gain early and valuable insights into plant nutrition. This proactive approach can let producers know that an application of boron may be needed.
Boron is an important micronutrient for the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes.
Soil health takes the lead in regenerative agriculture approaches. Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farm management that focuses on soil health and restoration while being conscientious of the unique relationship farming has with the environment. As you consider increasing the use of regenerative agriculture practices on your farm, U.S. Borax can play a key role in the impact of boron in your farm’s soil health journey.
