Boron in Agriculture

Application

Plants require 13 mineral nutrient elements for growth. The elements that are required or necessary for plants to complete their life cycle are called essential plant nutrients. Each of these nutrients has a critical function in plants and are required in varying amounts in plant tissue.

Macronutrients like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Sulfur (S) are plant nutrients required in the largest amount in plants. Micronutrients like Zinc (Zn), Boron (B), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn) molybdenum (Mo) and Chlorine (Cl) etc are required in relatively smaller amounts.
