A 0.2% boron spray (2 g/L) at flowering/fruit set corrects boron deficiency in sunflower, oilseeds and fruit crops. Dissolve borax in warm water first. Stay at or below 0.2% โ€” boron toxicity is easy to cause.

About Foliar Boron Spray Calculator

Boron drives pollination and fruit set, and a 0.2% foliar spray (2 g per litre) at flowering rescues sunflower, oilseed and fruit crops showing empty centres or poor set. Boron's safe range is narrow, so precise mixing matters. This tool converts the 0.2% strength into grams of borax for your spray volume.

Frequently asked questions

How do I mix a 0.2% borax / solubor spray?+

A 0.2% w/v spray means 2.0 g per litre of water, so a 15 L knapsack needs 30 g. The calculator scales this to whatever tank size you enter.

When should I spray for the best result?+

A 0.2% boron spray (2 g/L) at flowering/fruit set corrects boron deficiency in sunflower, oilseeds and fruit crops. Dissolve borax in warm water first. Stay at or below 0.2% โ€” boron toxicity is easy to cause.

Can I increase the concentration to work faster?+

No โ€” going above the recommended 0.2% risks scorching the leaves and wasting product. Repeat sprays at the correct strength instead of one strong one.

Is the tool free and private?+

Yes โ€” free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so it works offline in the field.
