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.
Scientific research over the years has studied the patterns of absorption, partitioning, and remobilization of nutrients in soybean cultivation. In recent years, studies have shown that the potential for nutrient accumulation—including boron—has increased significantly due to current high productivity levels.
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.
The role of pulses in India's economy is integral to its food security. Boron is an essential micronutrient required for the growth and development of plants and boron deficiency in soil can lead to reduced crop yields and poor-quality produce.
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.
Agriculture plays a significant role in many Asian economies, including China—one of the world's largest agricultural countries. The agriculture industry in China continuously searches for ways to increase crop yields to meet the growing demand for food at home and commodity crops abroad.
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.
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.
Katherine Warington was a pioneering scientist whose work on boron and its importance in plant nutrition has had a lasting impact on the field of agriculture.
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!
