VITALBor is an advanced, concentrated boron formulation chelated with the bio-based molecule ethanolamine and fortified with nitrogen. Unlike traditional boron forms and salts, such as borax or boric acid, which have limited mobility within plant tissues and may cause foliar burn at high concentrations, ethanolamine chelation promotes efficient systemic uptake through the leaf cuticle and rapid vascular translocation.

Key Benefits & Functional Mechanisms of VITALBor

• Enhanced Fertilization, Pollination & Fruit Set: Boron plays a key role in pollen grain cell wall formation and pollen tube growth. Application during bud swelling and early spring helps support successful fertilization, reduce flower abortion and drop, and improve fruit set.
• Improved Sugar Transport & Carbohydrate Synthesis: By forming complexes with sugars, boron supports the translocation of photosynthates from leaves to storage organs, fruit kernels, seeds, and tubers, helping reduce issues such as hollow kernels in pistachio and walnut and corking in fruit tissues.
• Overcoming Seasonal Delays in Boron Uptake: In cold or alkaline soils during early spring, root uptake of boron may be physiologically delayed. Foliar application of VITALBor helps bridge this gap by providing reproductive tissues with an immediate supply of boron.
• Meristem Development & Stem Thickness: Soil and root application of VITALBor supports cell division in apical meristems, contributing to stronger root branching and improved crown and stem development.

Why Ethanolamine-Chelated Boron?

Its organic complexation helps improve boron availability and uptake while reducing the risk of foliar injury associated with high concentrations of conventional boron compounds, supporting more efficient use compared with inorganic boron formulations.
