Key Roles of Boron in Plant Nutrition
Boron: Responsible for all meristematic activities in the plant, helps in the utilization and regulation of nutrients, supports the production of sugars and carbohydrates, is essential for seed and fruit development, and plays a role in plant reproduction, cell wall formation, and maintaining optimum water balance in the plant.
Time of Application: Just before flowering, with a follow up spray 10 to 12 days later.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Controls Flower Shedding: Helps reduce flower drop caused by Boron deficiency, improving flower retention on the plant.
-
Improves Sweetness, Size and Colour: Application increases the sweetness, size and colour of the crop, adding to overall produce quality.
-
Enhances Yield: Supports better yield through improved flowering and fruit development.
-
Pure and Completely Water Soluble: Formulated for high solubility, making it easy to mix and apply as a foliar spray.
-
Compatible with Regular Nutrition Program: Fits into a standard two spray schedule during the cropping season to meet the crop's boron requirement.
Allbor Dosage & Recommended Crops

Allbor Expert Advice
"Boron has a narrow margin between deficiency and toxicity, so timing matters more than most nutrients. Two well placed sprays of Allbor, just before flowering and again 10 to 12 days later, improve flower retention and fruit sweetness, size and colour, which translates into better saleable yield. I always advise growers to stick to the recommended dose rather than adding extra for quicker results."–BigHaat Agronomy Expert
Additional Information
- Boron products should be applied cautiously, as the gap between deficiency and sufficiency is very narrow. Applying even a small quantity in excess can reduce crop production instead of increasing it, since excess boron becomes toxic to plants.
- Deficiency symptoms of Boron include burning of younger leaf tips, wrinkling or curling of young leaves, bushy stunted growth, and in extreme cases, failure of fruit setting.
- Soil test-based application is recommended for accurate deficiency correction.
- Follow all crop-specific recommendations mentioned on the product label.
