BORON FOR PLANTS
Boron is one of the essential micronutrients for plant growth. Boron can occur naturally in water, or it can find its way into water supplies through industrial wastewater. Boron in excess of 2.0 mg/L in irrigation water can be detrimental to plant growth, and some plants may even be affected by concentrations below 1.0 mg/L.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports the following classification:
Boron concentration |
Impact on crops |
<0.5 |
good (except for very sensitive crops) |
0.5 to 2.0 |
some risks (many crops must be excluded) |
> 2.0 |
dangerous (can only be used on hardy crops) |
FAST BORON MEASUREMENT BY TITRATION
Range 0.5 to 2.0 mg/L in 0.2mg/L increments
REAGENTS ARE CLEARLY LABELED AND QUANTIFIED
