Boron
Benefits of Use:
- Supplies boron nutrition necessary for metabolic activity, proper growth, and maturation
- Enhances pollen viability and pollination in flowering crops
- Improves quality of crop
- Is required for cell division and normal tissue differentiation and maturation
- Functions with calcium to form an “intercellular cement” to maintain plant structural integrity
- Improves protein metabolism and reduces nitrate accumulation in young leaves
- Improves sugar transport in plants
Deficiency Symptoms—When to Apply:
- Reduced flowering or improper pollination
- Stubby stem or root growth; weakened cell walls that allow crop lodging
- Thickened, curled, wilted, and chlorotic leaves
- Symptoms of calcium deficiency may appear
- ALFALFA: yellow-reddish leaves in new growth, CORN: pollen tube failure, COTTON: rosette, NUT CROPS: decreased yields in otherwise-healthy trees
