Growers in the U.S. Midwest are seeing higher yields and greater profits thanks to an understanding of the importance of micronutrients, including boron. Hear how refined boron can help optimize crop growth and ROI.
Corn requires high levels of all nutrients to ensure maximum economic yields. Soybeans, like all legumes, have a high boron requirement.
Unlike South American ulexites, Granubor refined borate fertilizer is specifically designed to release boron when crops need it the most. For corn, this means your crops receive boron at the critical V6-R1 phases.
East South Central, USA: Three trials of borate fertilizer on corn in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky
Java, Indonesia (2011-2012): Yield increase of 7.57%
Paraná, Brazil (2014-2016): Several field trials of U.S. Borax fertilizer products on corn
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (2019-2020): One year study of Granubor
Wisconsin, USA (2022): The first corn study comparing Granubor and Solubor Flow +K
Boron aids in the transfer of sugars and nutrients from leaves to reproductive organs, and increases pollination and seed development. Corn requires a supply of available boron, especially during tasseling and silking.
Discover the key findings in a U.S. Borax study (partnering with the University of Missouri) on the impact of borate soil-type fertilizers on corn crops.
Depending on the boron source (B), the solubility and dissolution time (release of B) may change, impacting the recommended dose and management of boron in the crop.
In order to aid in understanding the response of soy and corn to some sources available on the market, Schaich (2021) conducted two fieldwork experiments comparing sources and dosages of boron.
