For Dr. James White and his team of researchers at Rutgers University, giving credence to the rhizophagy cycle and the microbes that fuel it has proven to yield a new understanding the symbiotic relationship between the soil biome and plant root hairs.
Looking forward, 2019 will have carryover effects on the 2020 cropping season. How producers align their management practices heading into the growing season can make the difference between a successful crop and lagging yields.
When choosing a boron supplement for your crops, you really do get what you pay for. Not all borate products produce the same quality or level of useable boron, so price is not necessarily the best measure of true return on investment (ROI).
Boron leaching in particular can affect overall crop quality and yield. Understanding the causes and solutions will help you create a micronutrient management plan that reduces costs and improves yields.
Extreme weather—from drought to flooding to sudden events—takes a toll on soil health. Here’s how proper supplementation can help.
As the world population grows, soil conservation becomes increasingly critical to expanding our ability to provide a healthy food supply.
Are you farming in an area with heavy rainfall or an arid landscape? Leaching has different effects depending on soil type and other factors.
Growers know the value of healthy soil, but the quality of the products you use to supplement soil can vary dramatically. Learn the difference between raw and refined borates.
Like humans, plants need proper nutrition to grow and thrive. Learn about the nutrients all plants need—and why choosing high quality matters.
Boron occurs naturally in soil, but a variety of factors can affect the level of boron that’s available to your plants.
