Due to increasing environmental concerns, the oil palm industry is under growing pressure to adopt sustainable cultivation practices. Expansion into new areas has slowed, resulting in limited land now available for cultivation. This makes it vital for growers to maximize the productivity of existing plantations.

The key to producing full-volume crop yields are seven micronutrients: Boron, copper, chlorine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.
Determining the correct blend of nutrients for your crops is vital. Just as important is ensuring the best application of those nutrients to your field. Several options exist for applying fertilizer to correct a boron deficiency.
Increasing alfalfa yield through fertilizer management, including boron, means testing your soil and ensuring you have enough boron to feed your crops.
Once upon a time, a leafy plant with a thick, fleshy root flourished around Europe’s Mediterranean coasts. Called
Beta maritima, it was the ancestor of today's sugar beet—which now produces almost half of the refined sucrose used by consumers and industry.
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for the growth and development of plants and is vital to ensure the quality of fruit. In fruit trees, the flowering and fruiting stages are severely impacted by boron deficiency.
Because boron deficiency is a common crop ailment, it’s lucky that it is easily solved with the proper knowledge and application techniques. One reliable, easy-to-use method is foliar application of boron through spraying liquid solutions.
Olives have been cultivated in Europe for at least 7,000 years—for their oil and their fruit. In fact, Spain, Greece, Turkey, and Italy produce the majority of the world’s olive crop and the EU has a whole produces around 67% of the world’s olive oil.
As any farmer knows, preventing disease and parasites is a constant battle. Boron application is well-known for its support of plant health from root to flower; it also may be a powerful defense against certain parasites.
