A new article published by Fertilizer International Magazine reveals that newer soybean varieties have improved potential for nutrient uptake. The authors—our borate experts Fabiano Silvestrin and Eduardo Saldanha—note that this is good news: It means higher yields for growers. It also means higher demand for those nutrients—including boron. This effect highlights the importance of using fertilizer sources—such as Granubor®—that release all their boron over the course of a growing season. To learn more about getting the greatest efficiency from your soybean fertilizer, read the full article here: https://bit.ly/4kbxSaH #FertilizerInternational #Soybeans #BoronInSoybeanNutrition #BoronInAgriculture

Do you know what time it is? ⏰ Here’s a hint: It’s Monday. It’s the day after the U.S. switches to Daylight Saving Time. And, it's time to change those smoke detector batteries. (It’s also National Napping Day…in case you need one.) This is a day when we especially appreciate ALL the battery-powered devices that keep us running, safe—and on time—even when we might not have adjusted our internal clocks yet. Learn more about how boron makes your batteries more efficient—and last longer. https://bit.ly/44IRxae #DaylightSavingTime #Batteries #BatteryQualityBoron

Fortunately, foliar applications of a high-quality borate fertilizer such as Solubor® improve sunflower yields—and profits for growers.
