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.
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.
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.
