Reasons
Boron deficiency
Boron deficiency made worse by
Sandy soils
Alkaline soils
Soils low in organic matter
High levels of nitrogen
High levels of calcium
Cold wet weather
Periods of drought
Boron is important for
Stabilization of plant tissues and improved plant and crop strength, working together with Ca
Increased crop quality and yield
Yara recommended fertilizers for Boron
YaraLiva™ NITRABOR™
