Description

Mode of action and benefits



  • For boron supply – as a water-soluble formulation


  • Promotes meristem growth, ensures even flowering & good fruit set


  • Promotes ripening


  • Secures the yield

Boron foliar fertilisers are specifically developed for application to the leaves. Boron (B) is an important plant nutrient that is needed for various processes in plant metabolism. A boron deficiency can lead to various growth problems in plants, such as stunted growing tips, reduced growth and lower yields. Foliar application can quickly counteract an acute nutrient deficiency and improve plant health.

The boron foliar fertiliser can be combined with other foliar fertilisers and compost tea. More on how boron works together with silicon, its mode of action and the right application rates for each crop in our blog post on boron.

Application and dosage

 

Crop Application rate
General For boron supply: foliar application of 0.5–3 l/ha in 200–600 l water/ha, 4–8 l/ha for soil application.
Vines For good flowering, fruit set and more uniform inflorescences: 2 foliar applications of 0.5–1 l/ha from inflorescence swelling.
Pome fruit For good flowering, fruit set and skin quality: 1 l/ha each at pink bud, balloon stage and petal fall; 2 l/ha after harvest, as foliar application.
Stone fruit For good flowering and high fruit set: foliar 1 l/ha from the start of flowering + 2 l/ha after harvest.
Strawberries For good flowering, high fruit set and against misshapen berries: foliar 1 l/ha at green bud stage, 2 l/ha in autumn.
Hops For good shoot and flower development: from sufficient leaf mass until the start of flowering, 3–5 applications at 0.1% (100 ml per 100 l spray water).
Maize For pollen quality and kernel set: foliar 3 l/ha from the 4- to 10-leaf stage.
Leafy vegetables and brassicas For internal quality, against heart necrosis: foliar 2–3 l/ha once sufficient leaf mass has developed.
Root and fruiting vegetables For good fruit set: foliar 2–3 l/ha once sufficient leaf mass has developed.
Potatoes For internal quality: foliar 1–2 times 1 l/ha from canopy closure.
Oilseed rape For even flowering and ripening, and for yield: foliar 3 l/ha in autumn from the 4- to 6-leaf stage; with severe deficiency, repeat in spring before flowering.
Winter cereals To prevent yield losses in dry conditions: 1–2 applications of 0.5 l/ha each (BBCH 30–37)
Sugar beet Against heart rot and dry rot: foliar 1–2 times 3 l/ha from the 4- to 6-leaf stage until canopy closure.
