Are your crops begging for Boron?
Globally, Boron deficiency is one of the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies, and the US is not an exception. A Boron deficiency can cause serious physiological damage, slow plant growth and cause a substantial reduction in crop yield even when other nutrients are applied in sufficient quantities.

- Functions of Boron
- Factors affecting Boron availability
- Symptoms of Boron deficiency
- Best timing of Boron application and in-season options.
Best options to proactively address boron deficiency:
- A soil application followed by a foliar application
- If you can’t get in for a soil application, do two foliar applications – One at herbicide timing followed by an application at fungicide timing
A third-party Boron timing trial showed an application of Impel Boron at herbicide timing resulted in a 3.5 bu/ac yield advantage over the untreated check. When the application of Impel Boron was applied at both herbicide and fungicide timing, there was an increase of 4.5 bu/ac. When a soil application of Impel Boron was paired with a herbicide and fungicide application of Boron, they observed more than a 7.2 bu/ac advantage!
Due to the compatibility of the ReLeaf, Laser and Impel product lines with herbicides and fungicides, these product options fit simply and easily into an integrated crop plan to address Boron deficiency.
