Boron 17
AUTHORISED FOR USE IN ORGANIC PRODUCTION.
| Boron | (B) | Water-soluble | 17 % |
To be used only where there is a recognised need. Do not exceed the appropriate dose rates.
CHARACTERISTICS:
Highly water-soluble fertiliser recommended to prevent or combat B-deficiency. It promotes the sugar and protein synthesis, improves germination and fruit setting. Lack of boron in olive trees, vines, beets, corn causes beet rot, millerandage, colatura, grape necrosis, suberose tissue in some fruits and lack of fertilisation in maize with consequent lower yields. In celery and lettuce prevents leaves browning.

MISCIBILITY

In combination with other formulations it is always advisable to carry out small-scale tests to check their compatibility.
