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.
Animal manures contain varying concentrations of most plant nutrients.
Depending on the boron source (B), the solubility and dissolution time (release of B) may change, impacting the recommended dose and management of B 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.
Sodium is found in all soils and crops. Soils in humid regions, where most boron deficiencies occur, contain about 50-150 lbs/acre of sodium in the surface 6-inch layer, but soils in drier regions may contain higher levels of sodium.
Mato Grosso, Brazil (2019-2022): Midway results of a five-year study results in higher volumes with Granubor.
To aid in understanding the response of soybeans to applications of different doses of boron, Zabini (2021) conducted field experiments comparing doses of boron in two different types of soils in different locations in Paraguay.
Discover the primary characteristics, benefits, and uses of U.S. Borax’s flagship refined boron product.
Fertibor is a white free flowing granular material which is highly soluble without residue. Fertibor is a versatile source of elemental boron in solid, liquid or suspension fertilizers, and for direct application to the soil.

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.
