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.
