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