Boron deficiency map for India

Farming in India

Monsoon patterns and depletion from the variety of high-yield crops in the area mean that refined boron supplementation is vital to help prevent fruit and flower drop and keep crop production in India strong.  Both family growers and larger land holdings can benefit from the application of high-quality, highly available refined borates to correct boron deficiency.

How to improve crop yield

With so much focus on macronutrients—nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium—farmers often overlook how important micronutrients are to improving crop yield. However, there are encouraging signs that micronutrient awareness is growing in countries such as Bangladesh and India. 

Boron deficiency is widespread in the region and correcting and preventing this issue is critical to seeing better, healthier crop yields.
