Humans have been cultivating cotton for millennia. In fact, evidence points to independent development of cotton crops in South America, Northern Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. But what makes a healthy cotton crop?
Maximum yields call for both micro- and macronutrients to be available when and where a plant requires them. Boron is critical to reaching corn, soybean, and cereal crop yield potential.
Globally, Brazil produces the most soybeans followed by the United States and Argentina. More than half of the world’s population gets their protein supply from plant sources. And, soybeans have an incredibly high protein content. In fact, they are one of the most protein-dense legumes.
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.
Increasing alfalfa yield through fertilizer management, including boron, means testing your soil and ensuring you have enough boron to feed your crops.
More than 80 countries grow sunflowers as a crop. By 2026, global consumption of sunflower oil is projected to reach 12 million metric tons.
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.
In the vast and ever-evolving landscape of American agriculture, one steadfast presence remains the backbone of rural communities and the source of our nation's food security: Family farms.
Product origin is a hot topic. Whether you’re curious about where the cotton fibers in your bed sheets came from, or where the berries in your morning yogurt grew, sourcing is top of mind lately. For U.S. Borax, the answer is right there in our name.
