Solubor DF

Characteristics

Solubor® DF is a high-purity, single-nutrient fertiliser containing 17.5% boron (B). It takes the form of non-hygroscopic, dust-free, and freeflowing solid microgranules, all of which are uniform in size and shape. Following a rapid dissolution process, it can be applied through fertigation and hydroponics and is especially recommended for foliar application.

An adequate level of boron is essential for maintaining numerous boron enzymatic plant activities in arable and horticultural crops. These activities include synthesis, structuring and stabilization of cell walls, support of the structural, functional integrity and elasticity of cell membranes, and proper differentiation and development of apical meristems. Boron is also central in the metabolism of the auxin indoleacetic acid (IAA) and in the regulation of the mitosis process during cell division through production of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA).

Appropriate treatments with Solubor® DF can prevent boron shortage in crops, especially in cereals, rapeseed, sugar beet, potato, brassica vegetables, legumes, and pome/stone fruits. It therefore prevents and corrects the serious physiological disorders which lead to heavy losses of yield quantity and reduced quality. The sparse internal transport of boron in many plants requires several spray applications of the product during the critical growth stages.
