More than 80 countries grow sunflowers as a crop. By 2026, global consumption of sunflower oil is projected to reach 12 million metric tons.
Bulk blends give farmers the flexibility to prepare only the necessary amount of fertilizers with just the right ratio of nutrients for a given field. However, bulk blending can also cause headaches when issues including dust, caking, and product segregation arise.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of products to choose from as you’re planning your fertilization program. From various blends of granular and powder to liquid formulations, there are numerous nutrient variables. How can you cut through the clutter to find out what you really need?
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.
