In my first borates primer post, I discussed the different types of borates, solubility by type, and the types of borax U.S. Borax produces. In this post, I’ll cover how borate solubility affects plant absorption and recent research in the field.
In many states, alfalfa is the commodity crop that is most sensitive to boron deficiency. Many of those same states are facing historic drought—a combination that presents intrinsic challenges for alfalfa producers.
Highlighting the importance of boron as a nutrient in various crop management plans, U.S. Borax is proud to sponsor the 2021 Boron Day hosted virtually August 17-19.
As we gear up for the second half of 2021, we’re looking forward to the upcoming Southwestern Fertilizer Conference (SWFC) in San Antonio.
We celebrate Earth Day much like every other day—by providing the boron-delivering products growers need to achieve sustainability in profitability, production, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
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.
