GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Boron is one of seven micronutrients essential to all plant growth.
Boron deficiency has been recognized in a wide range of crops.
Minera Santa Rita produces its Aquabor 2 in a modern Spry Dryer plant , wholly constructed.
in 316 L stainless steel, that guarantees to obtain a high purity and not contaminated
Aquabor 2 dissolves even in cold water, with the dispersion and maximum solubility
possible, giving supersaturated solutions with high boron content, perfect for
fertigation.

APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS
Fertilizer
Plant growth regulator. Foliar applications due to boron deficiencies. Coating of finished
solid fertilisers. Formulate high performance liquids containing either boron alone or a combination of nutrients for spraying, “fertigation” or irrigation.
Correcting Boron Deficiency
In solid or liquid fertilizers, to the seedbed in annual crops or under the foliar canopy of perennial crops. Perennial and annual crops can also be sprayed with boron containing
solutions. These are normally tank mixed with other micronutrients or with agrochemical products.
Wood Protection
Flame proofing. Prevent wood decay from microbial attack.
Industrial
Isolation / Flame retardant / Corrosion Inhibition.
Pesticide
Fungicide. Fungi protection. Target ants, cockroaches, crickets, silverfish, earwigs, flies, millipedes, centipedes, mold and mildew.
pH Adjustment
An acidic or basic substance used to alter the acidity (pH) of a solution or product.
Soap/Surfactant
Compounds that have surfactant or detergent properties.
Solvent
Inclusion in multi-element soluble powder formulations for spraying on farm. The amorp-
hous particles of Aquabor facilite rapid wetting and incorporation in water and move
viscous liquids even at low temperatures.
Defoliant
Kill leaves on broad leaf plants. Commonly used in cotton production to remove leaves before harvest.
OTHER BENEFITS Minimal Crystallisation Effect
Aquabor causes minimum changes to crystallization temperatures or density of
formulation Rapid Dispersion IsThe amorphous particles of Aquabor facilitate rapid wetting and incorporation in water and more viscous liquids, even at low temperatures.
