Borax Pentahydrate (Boron 14.85%)

Boron Pentahydrate is a boron supplement that contains 14.85% boron. Borax pentahydrate is a micronutrient that is required for the growth and development of healthy plants as well as in agriculture. Boron’s role in plant productivity has been proven since the early 1920s. In low quantities, borax pentahydrate is used as a micronutrient in fertilisers.

Molecular Formulae– Na₂ [B₄O₅ (OH) ₄] ·8H₂O 

Alternative Names– Tincalconite, Borax 5-hydrate

• Boron pentahydrate aids in the remedy and prevention of boreal scarcity, stunted growth, and yield loss.
• It stimulates seed germination, encourages plant growth, and produces more flowers.
• It helps to regulate plant hormone levels for development and reproduction.
• Borate pentahydrate is easily blended with other fertilisers.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It works by providing crops with essential nutrients like Boron.
• Borax Pentahydrate is necessary for plant development, growth, crop production, and seed development by assisting with water and nutrient transport in plants.  

TIME OF APPLICATION-

• It can be used all throughout the year.
• It should be used at least once a month if it is showing signs of boron deficiency.

RECOMMENDED USAGE- 

• For spraying, the recommended usage is 5% weight by volume.
