Boron is an essential micronutrient needed for plant development. Fertibor Boron, mined and purified boron, should be used in very small amounts (2-10 lb/acre) because it can become toxic to plants if over-applied.

Symptoms of Boron Deficiency:
Deficiencies often manifest as dead, malformed, or discolored growing points.
Common signs include cracked stems (celery), hollow hearts (peanuts), deformed fruits, and yellow/brown leaves.

Key Benefits of Boron in Plant Development:

Structural Integrity: Boron is vital for cell wall synthesis and stability, aiding in cell division and expansion.

Reproduction & Yield: It plays a crucial role in pollen germination, pollen tube elongation, and seed and fruit development, significantly affecting the number of flowers and fruit set.

Sugar & Energy Transport: It aids in the movement of sugars and carbohydrates from leaves to growing areas, ensuring plants have enough energy.

Root & Shoot Growth: It supports the development of new plant parts, preventing stunted growth.

Nutrient Uptake & Metabolism: Boron promotes Nitrogen fixation in legumes and helps in the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and potassium

  • Fertibor is a slow release, 15% boron for soil application.
  • Highly soluble
  • To calculate them amount of Fertibor required, multiply the elemental boron required by 6.6 (based on a soil test)
