Boron in Agriculture
Main consequences of boron deficiency in plants and trees, which can be easily seen, are as below
Leaves become misshapen, small, thick and brittle,
Growing points start dying
Watery patches develop in storage tissues
Fruit development is irregular and misshapen
Root growth is impaired
The best way to detect the boron deficiency is soil tests without causing any adverse effect on growth and yield.
Correcting Boron Deficiency
Boron deficiency can be remedied by correct & timely application of Agrisol B Fertilizer range. Agrisol B-Fertilizers containing varied amounts of Boron (as B) ranging from 11% upto 20% in all physical forms (Crystal, Crystalline, Granules & Powder) & customized packings to suit the needs of the farmers & bulk fertilizer industry. Application of Boronated / Boron blended bulk fertilizers like Boronated SSP, Boronated NPK, Boronated DAP etc. is another effective way of correcting boron deficiency.
AGRISOL B 11 (Boron 11%) standard borate commonly used for direct soil application, foliar spray or blending with bulk / liquid fertilizers & micronutrient mixtures.
AGRISOL B 11 S (Boron 11%) standard granular borate used for direct soil application or blending with bulk granulated fertilizers.

AGRISOL B 15 (Boron 15%) special borate for all fertilizer applications.
AGRISOL B 15 S (Boron 15%) special granular borate for direct soil application or blending with bulk granulated fertilizers.
AGRISOL B 20 (Boron 20%) highly soluble borate powder for blending with other liquid fertilizers, pesticides used for foliar spray, drip or fertigation.
AGRISOL B 11 (Boron 11%) slow release natural mineral borate for soil application.
Boron Deficiency
Boron deficiency & positive response to B application has been reported in over 80 countries and on 132 crops over the last 60 years.
Earliest effect of boron deficiency in plants and trees is observed in outer membrane of cytoplasm of root cells, which are, altered in such a way that absorption of phosphorus, chlorides and potassium from the soil is reduced. Poor or weak root system affects the absorption of nutrients from soil and it also affects absorption of sugar cell in membrane.
Boron deficiency is particularly observed in root crops, leafy vegetables, fruit trees, tea, coffee, tobacco, olive tree, oil palm etc. In olive trees suffering from boron deficiency the yield drops drastically.
