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.
Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (2018-2019): Increased seed cotton yield
Mato Grosso, Brazil (2021-2022): Granubor increased yield by 19.5%
Tennessee, USA (1994): Treatments increased yield over the control
Cotton requires an available supply of boron, especially during the boll development stage, or boll shed may occur which reduces yields. Read more about how Solubor and Granubor are recommended for soils testing low in available boron.
U.S. Borax continually conduct field trials to better understand the use of boron and its benefit to agriculture. Learn about some of our current research.
See how refined boron improved coffee yield and quality over a two-year period.
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.
Hear the key results of a two-year rice trial, conducted by U.S. Borax and the International Rice Research Institute, on the effect of borates on rice quality and yield in China.
A U.S. Borax customer who decided to switch to nonrefined mineral borates sees a real difference in crop yield.
To determine the optimum rate and method of applying sufficient boron for optimum yields, growers need to know the relative boron needs for their crops.
A summary of U.S. Borax's agriculture product portfolio--Anhybor, Granubor, Fertibor, Liquibor, Optibor for ag, Solubor, Solubor Flow, and Zincubor.
U.S. Borax is committed to supporting growers, agronomists, and distributors in Latin America, using high-quality, refined borates and expert agricultural education and advice.
Solubor is manufactured to combine the highest concentration of boron with the maximum possible dispersion and solubility in water. It has a number of different uses in agro-industrial markets, in addition to its long established role in farm sprays.
