The magic functions of Borax in agriculture

Borax plays very important roles in agriculture,as lacking of Boron element may cause lots of serious problem in plant growth,, such as growth point necrosis, vascular bundle damage, root dysplasia ,crop apical branch growth anomaly, leaf deformity, fall of flowers and fruit, poor crop pollination and fertilization and fruit formation, fruit deformity and seed abortion, growth period delay, lower crop yields and quality. It is crucial to apply borax in agricultural practice.

Here we summarized the main functions of borax in agriculture as below:

1. ‌ promotes growth and development:the boron element in borax can participate in a variety of physiological processes in plants, such as cell division and protein synthesis, so as to promote the growth and development of crops, promote flowers blossom, extend the flowering period and increase the color saturation of flowers, as a regulator of plant growth, can promote root development, improve plant resistance;
2. ‌improve yield: Borax can promote the nutrient absorption and utilization of crops, enhance photosynthesis efficiency, and then increase yield;
3. ‌improve quality: borax can regulate sugar metabolism in crops, promote fruit ripening and improve the quality of agricultural products ‌. Helps improve the quality and taste of strawberries, grapes and peaches;
4. ‌enhance stress resistance: borax can improve crop drought resistance, cold resistance, salt and alkali resistance, reduce environmental pressure, enhance crop stress ‌;
5. ‌pest control: borax has a certain bactericidal effect, and can stimulate plants to produce disease-resistant substances, and also is an effective control of some diseases and pests ‌. It can be used to control a variety of vegetable diseases and pests, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew and viral diseases of cruciferous vegetables. Prevention of apple tree cracking disease and pear tree fruit rot disease;
6. ‌soil conditioner: Borax contains boron, which is beneficial to plants. It can improve soil structure, increase soil fertility and promote plant growth.
7. ‌as fertilizer: borax can be used as fertilizer, especially in the planting of fruit trees, conducive to the growth and flowering of fruit trees;
8. ‌repel pests: Borax can be used to repel ants and other pests and to protect plants from pests ‌. It plays an important role in corn and soybean production. It can help control the population of corn borer and other lepidoptera insects;
9. Weed removal: Borax is an acidic substance that can be sprayed directly on plants to remove weeds ‌.

Above are the main functions of borax in agriculture, next time we we share the application method and tips for borax. Hope this is helpful to our customers!
