Key Benefits of Boron in Crops

• Enhances Flowering and Fruit Set – Improves pollen germination and fertilization, reducing flower drop.
• Strengthens Cell Walls – Prevents weak stems, fruit cracking, and rotting.
• Boosts Root Development – Supports better nutrient absorption.
• Increases Sugar Transport – Improves fruit taste and quality.
• Prevents Growth Disorders – Reduces hollow stems, distorted leaves, and poor fruit formation.

Signs of Boron Deficiency

• Flower and fruit drop – Common in capsicum, tomato, and cotton.
• Hollow stems and cracked fruits – Seen in cauliflower and broccoli.
• Brittle, curled, or discolored leaves – Affects pomegranate and grapes.
• Low sugar content – Reduces quality in sugarcane and beetroot.

Best Boron Fertilizers :

• Boron 20% (Di-Sodium Tetra Borate Pentahydrate) – Water-soluble, suitable for soil and foliar application.
• Borax (10% B) – Used for soil application (2-4 kg/acre).
• Boric Acid (17% B) – Best for foliar spray (0.2-0.3%)
