Boron in Boric Acid helps in new cell development, flower and fruit formation, root development & synthesis of amino acids and proteins. Helps in nitrogen fixation in leguminous crops. Boron helps in vigorous growth & high yield of all crops.
Boric Acid contains element Boron to the level of 17 % w/w min. Boron is one of the seven micronutrients required by the plants for their healthier growth. Uptake of boron is difficult in alkaline soils, sandy & dry soils. Heavy rainfall causes boron deficiency due to leaching of boron by rain water.
Some of the symptoms shown by crops suffering from Boron deficiency are, restricted flowering and fruit development; discoloration, cracking or rotting of fruits & tubers; thickened, wilted or curly leaves. All these directly reduce the crop yield.
