Boron Is Anything But Basic
Boron (B) is a critical micronutrient essential for plant development and yield outcome, according to CHS Agronomy. Boron is highly responsive in row crops and is a major component in the grain development process for crops. It plays a vital role in the translocation within plants leaving it prone to movement, or leaching, in the soil causing deficiencies when growers need it most. Get a head start on beating nutrient deficiency during the growing season by knowing what to look for and knowing the solutions before it’s too late.
From promoting maturity and improving seed set to maintaining stability and function of plants cell wall membranes, Boron contributes many functions to proper plant growth.
Essential in plant growth and cell development, and even more critical in seed (grain) development, it is important to have adequate B available in the soil to ensure optimal growth, especially in the reproductive stages of the growing season. Ample B supply is also necessary for nitrogen fixation in legume crops.
Boron enhances the uptake of Ca, Mg and K and aids in the use and regulations of other nutrients like phosphorus and potassium through a healthy root structure.
