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.
Corn is the most widely distributed and productive cereal crop among all cereal grain crops in the world. Together with rice and wheat, maize provides around 35% of the food calories to at least 4.5 billion people in 94 developing countries.
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.
Soil plays a major role in determining the availability of boron in plants. Boron is taken up by plant roots from the soil solution. Learn about the science behind boron adsorption and deficiency.
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.
Boron Day was held in Antigua, Guatemala March 23 and 24, 2023. This event brings together top minds, new innovations, and emerging technology throughout the industry for a packed two-day event. Here's the recap!
Boron deficiency is a serious issue that can affect the yield and quality of commodity crops. Without adequate boron, plants are unable to complete their life cycle. But what does a deficiency look like and why is it so important for plant growth? Causes and effects of boron deficiency, and the best ways to address it, are different in every crop.
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.
