Are your crops begging for boron?
Boron is vital to plant health, as it is essential for cell wall formation and rapid growing points within the plant, such as reproductive structures. Globally, boron deficiency is one of the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies, and Western Canada is not an exception. Boron deficiency is on the rise with over 50% of the soils across Western Canada testing low to very low. And do you know what is suffering the most as a result of this? YIELD!
