Mode of Action and Advantages

For boron supply - as a water-soluble formulation
Promotes meristem growth, ensures uniform flowering & good fruit set
Promotes ripening
Secures yield

Boron foliar fertilizers are specifically developed for application on leaves. Boron (B) is an essential nutrient for plants, necessary for various processes in plant metabolism. A boron deficiency can lead to various growth problems in plants, such as stunted growth tips, reduced growth, and reduced yield performance. Foliar application can quickly counteract acute nutrient deficiency and improve plant health.

Made from water-soluble boron ethanolamine, which is significantly less harmful to the environment than the raw material borax used in most boron fertilizers.

The application of boron foliar fertilizer can be combined with other foliar fertilizers and compost tea.

Application and Application Rates

Crop	Application rate
General	For boron supply: Foliar fertilization 0.5–3 l/ha in 200–400 l water/ha, 4–8 l/ha for soil fertilization.
Grapes	For good flowering, fruit set, and more uniform clusters: 2 foliar applications at 0.5–1 l/ha from cluster enlargement.
Pome fruit	For good flowering, fruit set, and skin quality: 1 l/ha each at red bud stage, balloon stage, and petal fall; 2 l/ha after harvest via the leaf.
Stone fruit	For good flowering, high fruit set: via the leaf 2 l/ha from start of flowering + 2 l/ha after harvest.
Strawberries	For good flowering, high fruit set, and against deformed berries: via the leaf 1 l/ha at green bud stage, 2 l/ha in autumn.
Hops	For good shoot and flower development: from sufficient leaf mass until start of flowering 3–5 applications at 0.1% (100 ml/ 100 l spray water).
Maize	For pollen quality, grain set: 3 l/ha from 4 to 10-leaf stage via the leaf.
Leafy and cole vegetables	For internal quality, against heart rot: 2–3 l/ha as soon as sufficient leaf mass has developed as foliar fertilization.
Root and fruit vegetables	For good fruit set: 2–3 l/ha via the leaf as soon as sufficient leaf mass has developed.
Potatoes	For internal quality: 1–2 times 1 l/ha from row closure via the leaf.
Rapeseed	For uniform flowering and ripening, yield: via the leaf 3 l/ha in autumn from 4 to 6-leaf stage, repeat in spring before start of flowering in case of severe deficiency.
Winter cereals	To prevent yield losses during drought 1–2 applications at 0.5 l/ha each (BBCH 30–37)
Sugar beets	Against heart and dry rot: 1–2 times 3 l/ha from 4 to 6-leaf stage until row closure via the leaf.
