December 20, 2023
Listen in as we explore the role of Boron in farming, a micronutrient that's crucial for the lifecycle of crops from germination to harvest. It's not just about what Boron does – it's also about managing it effectively to enhance nitrogen utilization and avoid the pitfalls of deficiencies that have recently become more common. Join us as we discover the connection between essential micronutrients and the microbial life within our soils, and how this understanding can lead to improved plant health and yield. So, grab your favorite festive sweater, and let's celebrate the season with a conversation that could change the way you think about micronutrients.
