The impact of micronutrients on crop production is growing in importance. Learn more in this article from Fertilizer Focus magazine.

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.

To meet the growing demand for boron and zinc in fertilization programs, U.S. Borax recently launched Anhybor and Zincubor.

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

Soybeans, like all legumes, have a high boron requirement, necessitating pre- and in-season monitoring via both soil and foliar testing.

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.

As shelter-in-place became more widespread, the U.S. federal government announced that agriculture, and those involved in production agriculture, would maintain operations as a critical industry. From coast to coast and around the world, boron helps farmers boost crop yield and quality.

Maximum commodity crop yields call for both micro and macronutrients to be available when and where a plant requires them. As one of eight essential micronutrients, boron is critical to reaching corn and soybean crop yield potential.
