NuBOR 10

Boron 10 is a low-analysis, highly water-soluble, uniformly granulated boron fertilizer, specifically designed to assist in plant growth and maximizing yield.

Benefits of Boron: Download Fact Sheet

Boron functions in plant:

  • Transporter of sugars through cell membranes
  • Required for cell division and development
  • Involved with plant’s utilization of nitrogen and phosphate
  • Involved in the synthesis of protein and nucleic acids
  • Required for germination of pollen grains, flowering and reproduction, and seed formation

Boron can be deficient in:

  • Sandy, low organic matter, well leached soils
  • High soil pH
  • Dry and drought conditions
  • High levels of nitrogen and calcium, natural or applied
  • Cold, wet weather

Symptoms:

  • Poor fertilization and poor seed and/or fruit set
  • Stunting and/or death of terminal bud (rosetting)
  • Leaves/stems can thicken, leaves curl, and may become brittle
  • Yellowing of new growth, reduced flowering
  • Barren heads/stalks or poorly filled ears

Critical levels in plant and soil tests:

  • Plant Tissue: parts per million (ppm)
  • Critical levels at about 10-100 ppm
    • Corn: 5-25 ppm
    • Alfalfa: 30-80 ppm
    • Wheat: 5-25 ppm
  • Soil Test: parts per million (ppm), 0-6”, Mehlich III extraction
    • Deficient: <0.5 ppm
    • Marginal: 0.5-1.0 ppm
    • Sufficient: >1.0 ppm

Use Boron 10 for fall and pre-plant boron deficiency prevention. Boron 10 is the product of choice for broadcast and band boron applications in a wide range of conditions.

Highly water-soluble boron at 80%. Boron 10 exceeds industry water-solubility standards.

Crop essential sulfur at 3%. All the sulfur in Boron 10 is in the immediately available sulfate form.

Boron 10 delivers 33% more granules per acre as compared to a 15% boron product. Basis 1# of actual boron per acre, Boron 10 delivers nearly 230,000 granules per acre versus less than 160,000 from a 15% boron source. More granules per acre results in more feeding sites, which provides for better nutrient uptake.
