Ultra-Fine Soluble Boron for Fertigation, Foliar & Hydroponic Use
Solubor by US Borax (Rio Tinto) is the industry-standard soluble boron fertilizer — delivering 20.5% boron (B) guaranteed (20.9% typical) as disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (Na₂B₈O₁₃·4H₂O). With a particle size under 75 microns, Solubor disperses and dissolves rapidly even at low temperatures, making it the preferred boron source for fertigation injection, foliar programs, hydroponic nutrient solutions, and liquid fertilizer formulation.
Boron is essential for cell wall formation, pollen viability, sugar transport, and calcium utilization. Deficiency is common in sandy, leached, or high-pH soils and shows up quickly in fast-growing tissue. Solubor’s amorphous particle structure and high inherent solubility make it the most reliable way to correct or prevent boron deficiency at any scale.
Guaranteed Analysis
- Boron (B): 20.5% guaranteed (20.9% typical)
- Formula: Na₂B₈O₁₃·4H₂O — Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate
- Particle size: <75 microns
- Target range in nutrient solution: 0.1–0.5 ppm B
Application Rates
- Hydroponic stock concentrate: Dissolve 0.25 g per liter of pure water; apply at 5 mL/liter (19 mL/gallon) to achieve 0.25 ppm B in working solution
- Fertigation & foliar: Apply per label recommendations; consult a certified crop advisor or agronomist for crop-specific rates
Key Features
- 20.5% boron — highest-concentration soluble boron fertilizer; economical use rates
