The relationship between boron and pollen viability is so intimate that all crops should receive a foliar application of boron prior to flowering.
Boron is the most leachable of all trace elements and consequently deficits are common. Boron is required as a calcium synergist and is very important in the early reproductive period of the crop cycle. Nutri-Key Boron Shuttle™ offers complexed boron in a balanced formulation which covers the full spectrum of background nutrition.
Key Performance

Home Garden Application: Dilute 7.5 mL per 9 L watering can and apply the diluted mix at a rate of 1 litre per square metre. Do not apply more than 6 times per year without demonstrated trace element requirement.
Stir well before use. Where higher water rates are required for good foliar coverage, do not exceed maximum product rate per hectare. Sensitive foliage or plants should be test sprayed prior to full scale application. Frequencies are a guideline only and can be adjusted according to farm practices and/or in conjunction with crop monitoring. Ensure suitable spray conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, wind- speed), prior to foliar application. Compatibility and/or performance cannot be guaranteed when combined with other products. Jar test for compatibility and spray test on small area before wide-spread use
Read safety directions before use. Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. This product has been tested to store safely down to 5°C. Crystallisation or sedimentation may occur below 5°C. Do not pre-mix or store in diluted form. Seal lid/cap immediately after use.
This product contains 3% boron. Boron can be toxic to plants at high levels. Consult your NTS Agronomist for application advice. Avoid spraying close to harvest if produce is susceptible to staining.
