Agriculture needs to become increasingly efficient to feed a growing population. As an essential element for crop growth, boron has a vital role to play.

Mato Grosso, Brazil (2021-2022): Granubor increased yield by 19.5%
Sinop, MT – Brazil (2022-2024): Treatments increased yield over the control in both foliar and when applied via soil
Tennessee, USA (1994): Treatments increased yield over the control
Cotton requires an adequate supply of boron—especially during the boll development stage—or boll shed may occur, which reduces yields.
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.
One of the world's foremost experts in the agricultural uses of boron, Dr. Patrick Brown is a distinguished professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California Davis. In this video, he discusses the science and importance of borates in agriculture. By completing this video and quiz, you c...
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.
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.
A summary of U.S. Borax's agriculture product portfolio--Anhybor, Granubor, Fertibor, Liquibor, Optibor for ag, Solubor, Solubor Flow, and Zincubor.
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.
