Soil can lose essential water-soluble nutrients needed for crop growth due to excessive rain or irrigation. This process is referred to as
leaching. Depending on factors like soil structure and local climate, some soils may leach more than others.
More than 80 countries grow sunflowers as a crop. By 2026, global consumption of sunflower oil is projected to reach 12 million metric tons.
Bulk blends give farmers the flexibility to prepare only the necessary amount of fertilizers with just the right ratio of nutrients for a given field. However, bulk blending can also cause headaches when issues including dust, caking, and product segregation arise.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of products to choose from as you’re planning your fertilization program. From various blends of granular and powder to liquid formulations, there are numerous nutrient variables. How can you cut through the clutter to find out what you really need?
From where your farm is located to the type of soil you have, many factors can affect boron levels. Learn more about what you need to ensure your soil’s boron levels are adequate for your crops.
Research has shown that the coffee plant is one of the most sensitive species to boron deficiency.
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for all plant species. In agriculture, boron is one of the most deficient minerals in soil around the world.
Boron (B) deficiency is directly affected by boron mobility or immobility in plants. In those species in which boron is immobile in the phloem, foliar-applied boron will not be translocated from the site of application. This means there is not enough boron to adequately supply the plant cells that are required for tissue formation. In those species where boron is immobile via phloem, boron must be applied via soil.
Boron is an important micronutrient for the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes.
Fertilizing is an art form for anyone deeply involved in agriculture. The balance of nutrients, the type of fertilizers, and their application methods can make or break your yield. If you're specifically looking for a boron fertilizer for foliar application, U.S. Borax is here to help you understand why
Solubor might be an excellent fit for your needs.
