Baker & Baker's BORON 20% ( Di-Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate)

Boron (B) is a vital micronutrient required for plant growth and productivity. Boron 20% is a concentrated boron fertilizer commonly used to address boron deficiencies in soils and crops.

Why is Boron Important for Crops?

1. Enhances Flowering and Fruit Set:
   Boron is essential for pollen germination and the growth of pollen tubes, aiding in successful fertilization.
2. Improves Cell Wall Strength:
   It supports cell wall formation and stability, improving crop quality.
3. Aids in Sugar Transport:
   Boron facilitates the movement of sugars and nutrients within the plant.
4. Boosts Root Development:
   It enhances root elongation and overall nutrient absorption.
5. Improves Stress Tolerance:
   Boron helps crops withstand drought and heat stress.

Benefits of Boron 20% Application

1. Increases crop yield and quality.
2. Prevents common boron deficiency symptoms like stunted growth, deformed fruits, and poor flowering.
3. Enhances fruit size, uniformity, and market value.
4. Improves root health and nutrient uptake.

Signs of Boron Deficiency

1. Cracking of fruits or hollow stems (e.g., in sugarcane or cauliflower).
2. Poor flowering and fruiting.
3. Deformed, discolored, or brittle leaves.
4. Browning or blackening of root tips.

Crops Benefiting from Boron 20%

1. High Boron Requirement:

   • Apple, Grapes, Cauliflower, Tomato, Cotton, and Sunflower.

2. Moderate Boron Requirement:

   • Wheat, Rice, Maize, Sugarcane, and Vegetables.

Precautions for Use

1. Avoid over-application, as boron toxicity can harm crops.
2. Always conduct a soil test to determine boron deficiency levels.
3. Ensure uniform application to prevent uneven crop growth.
4. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and spraying.

Boron 20% is an effective solution to boost crop productivity and ensure healthy growth. For optimal results, consult an agronomist or follow local agricultural guidelines. Let me know if you need additional details!
