Aiva Boron

Boron (B) 190 g/kg

Most liquid Boron products are formulated from Boric Acid + Ethanolamine producing a Boron Ethanolamine liquid complex which has a high pH, and so is not suitable for tank-mixing with any actives sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis, Ethanolamine formulations of Boron will also suffer with less efficient leaf absorption.

Solid Boron products based on disodium octaborate are normally very slow to dissolve and also produce a high pH around 9.0 – 9.5 which is unsuitable for a wide variety of fungicide and insecticide tank-mixes.

This issue has been solved using ACIDplex technology to complex disodium octaborate, resulting in a product rich in Boron, which dissolves VERY rapidly, creates a neutral to acidic spray water pH and can be tank-mixed with most pesticides. This formulation type utilises carboxylic acids with ligno-polycarboxylates and EDTA to create a more efficient and tank-mix friendly formulation (when compared with alternative Boron formulations), which is rapidly and easily absorbed by the crop and at affordable cost.

IMPORTANT:
This information is approved as part of the product label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

For best results of nutritional uptake, apply in the evening or early morning. Do not spray when the crop is in stressed conditions such as very hot weather or drought.

Premix before adding to induction hopper. Spray equipment should always be clean before adding product. To be used where there is a recognised need. Do not exceed the appropriate application rate.

COMPATIBILITY:
For details of compatibilities contact your distributor or local AIVA FERTILISER representative. Carry out a jar test before adding to a new mix.

FOLIAR APPLICATIONS

MIXING:
Half fill the spray tank with water, begin agitation and add the required quantity of AF BORON* to the tank. Once mixed, continue agitation until spraying is complete and spray without delay. It is not advised to leave products in the tank for long periods of time. *Mix into the tank last when used alongside pesticides.

TIMING:
Apply as necessary, higher rates may be needed in very severe deficiency.

DOSE RATE: 200-500 g/ha

WATER RATE:100-200 L/ha
