Description
Its application stimulates the growth of cambium tissues and apical meristems, promotes the mobility of calcium and production of pollen and fertilization.
Liquid Boron is both preventive and curative solution to control the insufficiency and deficiency of boron in the crops.
Symptoms:
Earliest effect of Boron deficiency in plants and trees alters physiology that prevents the absorption of micronutrients (phosphorus, chlorides and potassium etc) from the soil.
Effect of Boron Deficiency in Plants and Trees
- Leaves become small, thick and brittle
- Growing points start dying
- Thickening of stems, shortened internodes, reduced flowering, seed setting & seed formation
Benefits of Liquid Boron
- Boron is a micronutrient critical to the growth and health of all crops.
- Boron deficiency in crop plants is the second most widespread micronutrient deficiency problem after zinc.
- Boron helps in cell wall formation and stability of plants including the movement of energy into growing parts of plants.
- Boron helps in flower/pollen formation and finally in seed setting.
- Boron is also required for effective nitrogen fixation and nodulation in legume crops.
- Boron recovers the stunt root growth of plants due to Boron deficiency also.

- 20 days after planting and then
- At flower initiation stage.
