Boron

  • If boron nutrition is timed correctly, it can increase crop yields by tens of percent. 
  • Boron deficiencies have also started to appear in response to the increased cultivation of oilseeds and sugar beet. 
  • However, boron problems are not the domain of oilseeds alone, but also of legumes, cereals, corn, vegetables, and special crops. 
  • In a plant, boron is involved in the synthesis and transport of sugars, which serve as energy for the synthesis of fatty acids. 
  • The presence of boron has a positive effect on cell strength and disease resistance. Flowering is a crucial phase in crop development, during which boron has a beneficial effect on flower fertility, nectar production and the pollination process.

 

The most sensitive to B deficiency are:

  • sugar beet, 
  • vegetables, 
  • fruit trees, 
  • oilseeds.

 

Moderately sensitive are:

  • cereals,
  • corn,
  • legumes.
