Currently, around 45% of arable Indian soil is boron deficient including latent deficient. Many of India’s states have soil that is more than 80% zinc deficient.

This month, the last installment in our series on Dr. James White’s work focuses on boron and nutrient cycling.

This month, our series continues with the third installment, as we focus on the core component of Dr. James White’s work: The Rhizophagy Cycle

In part two of our series with Dr. James White, we look at the role of seeds and their central association with root hairs.

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.
