HUMATED BORON GRANULES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Boron as 10% B2O3 has been fused with humates and is presented as a 2 – 4 mm granule (for easier application). Boron is the most unstable of the trace elements and is easily leached from the soil (particularly) in low carbon situations). Humates with 16% fulvic acid have exceptional boron retention capacity and this product can ensure a good supply of boron in the root zone for the full crop cycle.

BENEFITS CAN INCLUDE:

 Boron is complexed into a humate colloid to create a slow-release response.
 Boron increases calcium efficiency. Like calcium, it is involved in cell wall strength and it is important for good root development.
 Boron plays a critical role during the pollination stage of the reproduction process and the presence of lack of this element at this time can dramatically influence yield.
 A 2 – 4 mm granule can be combined with any granular fertiliser mixes to simplify application. Unlike boron sources, this product can be sagely included with seed.
 The soluble granules can also be used as a foliar fertiliser, but screening may be required due to an insoluble component.
 The humate component of this fertiliser offers many benefits in its own right. See the benefits listed under Ammonium Humate Granules as they are also all applicable here.
