Bananas’ rapid growth rate makes them heavy feeders. Along with macronutrients, such as potassium and nitrogen, reaching proper levels of the micronutrient boron can ensure larger, better-quality bunches.
We eat them fried, mashed, boiled, roasted, scalloped, baked, or even twice baked. Some like them white, brown, purple, red, or gold. No matter how we slice or dice them, the humble potato is a global diet mainstay. But, growing conditions have to be just right to ensure maximum yield.
More than 80 countries grow sunflowers as a crop. By 2026, global consumption of sunflower oil is projected to reach 12 million metric tons.
Research has shown that the coffee plant is one of the most sensitive species to boron deficiency.
Producers need to understand the role boron has in bolstering their avocado yields. Since boron plays a multifaceted role in various physiological plant processes, meeting nutritional needs during each growth stage is vital to avocado management.
Addressing the nutrient needs of dragon fruit across South America takes dedicated effort since soil conditions vary greatly across the region. It’s easy for micronutrient deficiencies to limit the growth of a dragon fruit crop.
Low pH soil is a good indication of boron (B) deficiency. In general, the tropical regions of the world have old and weathered soils with low organic matter. These conditions are favorable to the loss of various nutrients by leaching, especially boron.
Brazil, renowned for its thriving cotton industry, faces a pressing challenge that can impact crop yields and profitability: Boron deficiency. To equip farmers with valuable tools for combating this issue, the Cotton App empowers cotton farmers across Brazil.
Boron (B) deficiency has been identified as the most common nutritional disorder in oil palm plantations around the world, and it is intensified in regions with alkaline, sandy soils and subject to high volumes of rainfall.
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.
