Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Direction For Use

Soil Applications: Apply 3 to10 pounds per acre with sufficient carrier to give complete coverage. Soil applied Boron must be moved into the root zone to be absorbed by the plant. This can be accomplished by irrigation, rainfall or tillage. Do not use where product will directly contact the seed.

Post-harvest and Dormant Applications: Apply no more than 8 pounds per acre in sufficient water for thorough coverage. Make applications in the Fall after harvest, at dormant or at delayed dormant prior to bloom.

Foliar Applications: Apply up to 5 pounds per acre for trees and vines and up to 3 pounds per acre for row, field and other crops. Apply with enough carrier to thoroughly cover all foliage. Early morning or late evening applications give the best results. Boron is not easily translocated within the plant, therefore multiple foliar applications at low rates during the growing season are most effective.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with many liquid fertilizers, micronutrients, and pesticides. Addition of this product to these products should not be done without first testing compatibility on a small scale and checking for phytotoxicity. When mixing with pesticides, add this product to the mix tank and solubilize with water prior to the addition of buffering agents and pesticides. Follow all directions and precautions on pesticide labels prior to mixing with this product.

WARNING: This product is recommended for use on Field, Row, Vegetable, Fruit, Tree, Vine, Ornamental and Turf crops. Overapplication or excessive use of Boron can result in Boron toxicity. This may cause foliar damage or serious crop injury. The proper use of soil or petiole test recommendations will minimize the risk of over application of Boron.
