Composition
Boron as B-10.5%
Boron is a valuable
industrial mineral. It is used in a number
of products and is found in everything
from cookware and medicine to nuclear
waste storage and space exploration. Once
employed almost exclusively by goldsmiths,
who used boron as a flux, borates today
play important roles in glass production,
detergent preparations and agricultural
applications.
Boron (B) primarily
regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates
in plants. The need varies greatly with
different crops. Rates required for responsive
crops may cause serious damage to B-sensitive
crops. Boron deficiency may occur on both
alkaline and acid soils but is more prevalent
on the calcareous, alkaline soils.
A primary function of boron is related
to cell wall formation, so boron-deficient
plants may be stunted. Sugar transport
in plants, flower retention and pollen
formation and germination also are affected
by boron. Seed and grain production are
reduced with low boron supply. Boron-deficiency
symptoms first appear at the growing points.
This results in a stunted appearance (rosetting),
barren ears due to poor pollination, hollow
stems and fruit (hollow heart) and brittle,
discolored leaves and loss of fruiting
bodies.
Boron deficiencies are mainly found
in acid, sandy soils in regions of high
rainfall, and those with low soil organic
matter. Borate ions are mobile in soil
and can be leached from the root zone.
Boron deficiencies are more pronounced
during drouth periods when root activity
is restricted.
Boron deficiency results in stunted
growth of young plants. The youngest leaves
are affected first. They will be misshapen,
thick, brittle and small. Because boron
is not easily transferred from old to
young leaves, older leaves usually remain
green and appear healthy. Often dark brown,
irregular lesions appear, followed by
pale yellow chlorosis of young leaves.
Stems are short and growing points may
die. In canola, the symptoms of a boron
deficiency can be confused with a sulphur
deficiency. In alfalfa, boron deficiency
symptoms include death of the terminal
bud, rosetting, yellow top and poor flowering.
When a boron deficiency is moderate,
seed yield is often reduced without any
evidence of severe deficiency symptoms
during vegetative growth.
Compounds of boron, notably borax, have
been known since early time. It is a trace
element needed for plant growth, but toxic
in excess. Research suggests that it is
also nutritionally important for bone
health in humans and other vertebrates.
The boron compounds of industrial importance
include borax (Na2 B4O7• 10H20),
boric acid (H3BO 3), and boron carbide
(B4C)..
Trasco Boron is a trace element as a
single micronutrient needed for acute
boron therapy in crop plants that suffer
from Boron deficiency.
Target Crops:- All
crops that need boron for overcoming acute
boron deficiency.
To be used as:- Foliar
spray
Dosage :- Trasco boron
10.5% strength can be used @220gms to
500 gms per 200 lits of water after 35
days of crop plant being established in
the field.
Expert advice should be sought
for the application of Boron as a trace
element for crop plants.
