Follow The 3Ds of Micronutrient Management to Maximize Crop Fertility

Working closely with your advisers on basic fertility needs is a tried-and-true strategy that Dr. Ross Bender, Director of New Product Development for The Mosaic Company, stresses. He suggests starting a crop plan by focusing on the fundamentals: getting a handle on pH, ensuring macronutrients are under control and maximizing the value of micronutrients.

Boron – A Critical Nutrient Required for Root Growth and Potassium Uptake

A balanced supply of essential macro- and micronutrients is one of the most important factors to achieve higher crop yields. Boron (B) is one of eight micronutrients needed for proper plant growth. Lack of B in plant tissue can reduce cell wall function and stability, cell elongation, root growth, nutrient uptake and crop yields. This article describes the role of B in root growth and nutrient uptake, with a special emphasis on potassium (K).

Boron – How to Extend Nutrient Availability

Although boron (B) is considered the most deficient micronutrient in the world after zinc, dynamics of B use in plants and soils have continued to perplex farmers, agronomists and researchers for decades.

Aspire® Soybean Boron Fertility

Evaluate the yield response of Aspire® with Boron (0-0-58-0.5B) compared to MOP (0-0-60). Compare the yield response of Aspire® to a MOP + Boron (B) blend applied at multiple application rates.

Evaluate the yield response to Aspire® with Boron (0-0-58-0.5B) compared to MOP (0-0-60).

Boron Nutrition for Optimal Plant Growth

Boron (B) is a micronutrient critical to the growth and health of all crops.

Aspire® Soybean Boron Study

Evaluate the yield response of Aspire® (0-0-58-0.5B) compared to MOP (0-0-60).

Looking Beyond the Big Three in Soybeans

The objective of a recently published study conducted by University of Illinois plant physiologist Dr. Fred Below and recent doctoral graduates Dr. Ross Bender and Dr. Jason Haegele was to identify which secondary macronutrients and micronutrients demand attention in a new era of soybean production.

Boron: A Micronutrient that Requires Micromanagement

Boron is a micronutrient critical to the growth and health of all crops. It is a component of plant cell walls and reproductive structures. Boron can be found in soil solution, adsorbed to soil surfaces, organic matter, and is part of soil mineralogy. Boron is a mobile nutrient, meaning that it is prone to movement within the soil.

Boron’s Importance in Plant Development and Growth

One of the micronutrients that is essential for crop health also happens to be one of the most deficient in the majority of fields: boron.

Aspire® Cotton Boron Study

Evaluate the yield response of cotton to preplant applications of different potassium (K) and boron (B) sources.

Evaluating a Soybean Fertility Program

Historically, many soybean fertility programs are based on the philosophy of “make do with what’s left.” But progressive growers are finding it’s important not to forget this crop’s primary job is to pull nutrients out of the soil, and that those nutrients need to be replenished.
