GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AGRIBOR fertilizer is a Boron/Borate fertilizer, an essential micronutrient that affects overall plant growth and development, which can improve quality and yield.
BENEFITS OF AGRIBOR FERTILIZER
- Boron/borate is required in small amounts, but its absence can affect overall plant growth and production.
- Boron/Borate deficiency cannot be replaced by other nutrients.
- Boron is essential for the initiation of flower, fruit, and seed formation.
- Boron acts as a catalyst to increase the transport of carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant.
- Boron synergistically increases the effectiveness of Potassium (K) fertilization for plants.
BORON DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS
- Stem growth becomes shorter and plants appear smaller due to drought.
- Plant growth is stunted, especially in meristematic tissue (shoots).
- There is a lack of new growth, both at the growing point and in the leaves.
- Leaves become thick, dry, brittle, and shrunken with a dark green color.
PLANT SENSITIVITY TABLE TO BORON REQUIREMENTS
It is important to understand the level of plant need and sensitivity to boron deficiency to prevent nutrient imbalances that could result in decreased overall production due to boron deficiency.
Boron content in soil solution ranges from 0.1-2.0 ppm; below 1 ppm, boron must be supplemented.

Fertilizer applications must be carefully planned and administered accurately.
