Fertilizer Additive: Borax can be included in blended fertilizers to ensure a balanced nutrient profile.
Uses and Benefits
Boron Supplementation:
Borax provides boron, a micronutrient critical for plant growth and function.
Improved Cell Growth:
It aids in new cell development and the formation of strong cell walls, which is essential for structural integrity and proper water balance within the plant.
Enhanced Flowering and Fruit Development:
Boron is vital for flower production, pollen germination, and seed and fruit development, leading to increased yields.
Sugar and Nutrient Transport:
It helps move sugars produced during photosynthesis to active growth regions and plays a role in the transport of other nutrients and water throughout the plant.
Increased Root Development:
Boron is crucial for the development of healthy, thin roots, which increases the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Drought Tolerance:
By helping maintain water pressure within cells, boron strengthens plants' ability to withstand dry conditions.
