Soy (Mississippi, USA)

Study #1 details

• Research institution: Mississippi State University
• Date: 2022
• Location: Research and Extension Center, Mississippi
• Soil: Sharkey clay; pH (CaCl²): 8.12
• Soil B content: 1.0 ppm
• Fertilizer: Granubor^®
• Crop variety: AG43X0
• Trial design: Randomized complete block with four repetitions. Treatments consisted of different B rates and sources. Pre-plant soil sample 0-6” depth composited by rep fresh root weights of six plants per plot at v4 growth state.

Study #1 results

The treatment with Granubor (1 lb/acre of B) produced 10.3% more compared to the control (without B).

Study #2 details

• Research institution: Mississippi State University
• Date: 2022
• Location: Research and Extension Center, Mississippi
• Soil: Dundee silt loam; pH (CaCl2): 6.51
• Soil B content: 0.5 ppm
• Fertilizer: Granubor
• Crop variety: AG46X0
• Trial design: Randomized complete block with four repetitions. Treatments consisted of different B rates and sources. Pre-plant soil sample 0-6” depth composited by rep fresh root weights of six plants per plot at v4 growth state.

Study #2 results

The treatment with Granubor (1 lb/acre of B) produced 4.3% more compared to the control (without B).

Overall Granubor conclusions

The 2022 soybean crop suffered through drought conditions. These field studies emphasizes the importance of boron in terms of better water use efficiency and drought tolerance.
