Description
Key effects:
Maximum Flowering and Pollination
Boron is essential for pollen germination and pollen tube growth, supporting optimal fertilisation and the formation of fruits and seeds.
Increased Yield
Proper fertilisation and effective correction of boron deficiencies help plants make full use of their yield potential.
Proper Transport of Sugars and Assimilates
Boron regulates carbohydrate transport within the plant, contributing to sugar content in the crop and proper fruit development.
Improved Crop Quality and Storability
Boron strengthens cell walls, helps reduce fruit deformation, cracking, and corking, and improves firmness and storage properties.
Application Safety
The organic form of boron (boron ethanolamine) minimises the risk of phytotoxicity and ensures high availability, even under difficult soil conditions.

The role of boron in crops:
- contributes to the correct growth of the root system
- influences the correct growth of the generative system
- promotes flowering, aeration and water management
- is involved in the metabolism and movement of carbohydrates in the plant
- together with potassium, it is responsible for water management in the plant.
- promotes frost resistance of plants
Boron deficiencies result in:
- Death of growth cones of both roots and above-ground shoots
- Poorer development of the vascular tissues and disturbed water balance and assimilate flow in the plant
- Fruit suberization and russeting
- Weakening of flower and fruit setting
- Lower sugar content in roots and tubers of root crops
Dosage and timing of application:
| Crop | Rate (l/ha) | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Field crops | 1-1,5 | 2–3 applications from the intensive growth stage |
| Fruit and berry crops | 1-1,5 | 2–3 applications from the green bud stage; from petal fall; after harvest |
| Vegetables | 1-1,5 | 2–3 applications during periods of intensive growth, depending on the needs of the crop |
| Fertigation | 0,3-0,5% | Depending on the needs of the crop |
