Boron is an essential nutrient for the formation of cell membranes and the reproductive organs of plants.
Plants readily absorb the boron available in the soil. This nutrient is carried up the plant in the xylem, following the water lost through transpiration.
Boron deficiencies normally appear in sandy soils with low organic matter content, since boron can be lost through leaching in these soils.
Soils with a high retention capacity (soils rich in clay, iron oxides or aluminium) can also suffer from boron deficiency.
Any environmental condition that reduces transpiration, such as drought or high atmospheric humidity, can cause deficiencies to appear in crops.
At this time of year, plants must remobilize the boron that has accumulated in the leaves toward the reproductive organs.
Unfortunately, boron has low mobility in the phloem in many species.
Agro-B Mobility contains two technologies that allow boron to move more easily in the plant’s phloem.
The C-plex technology, included in Oligo Prime, and sorbitol are organic molecules that complex boron, preventing this nutrient from being fixed in leaf tissues.
Our research has shown that a foliar application of Agro-B Mobility:
Agro-B Mobility is sodium-free.
