Product Description
Bornesta is a liquid fertilizer enriched with Boron (B) in the form of boron ethanol amine which provides and maintains the levels of boron. Bornesta is readily absorbed through plant leaves, shoots, roots, and reproductive structures. The product is concentrated and only a small amount is needed. When properly used, it promotes greater crop health and higher yields whenever boron availability is a limiting resource for optimum crop performance. It is particularly suitable both for foliar and root applications
Benefits:
- Recommended for the preventive and curative control of insufficiency that may happen due to deficiency or poor assimilation of Boron.
- Essential in the activity of growing regions of plants, such as root tips, and leaf and bud development. Required in large amounts during the reproductive stage of plants also for the production of pollen and to facilitate fertilization. Promotes calcium mobility and assimilation, particularly in the binding of calcium to form cell walls and membranes of plants.
- Increases sugar transport by photosynthesis in mature plant leaves to actively in developing fruits.
- Plays an important role in regulating hormone levels in plants for Flower initiation, fruit development, cell wall and tissue formation, and root elongation.
- Recommended for some crop-specific boron deficiency symptoms including crooked stem in celery, hollow heart in peanut, corky core in apple, resetting (terminal bud dieback) in alfalfa and cotton, and heart rot in sugar beet.
