Description

We conduct numerous soil tests for turf in our region, and one recurring observation is a deficiency in essential micronutrients like Boron. While often overlooked in turf management, Boron is absolutely critical for the health and resilience of your grass.

Why Boron Matters for Your Turf

Boron plays a vital role behind the scenes, impacting several key areas of turf development:

• Stronger Cell Walls: It’s essential for forming robust cell walls, which contribute to overall plant structure and rigidity.
• Efficient Nutrient Transport: Boron is critical for the movement of sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant, fueling growth and development.
• Hormone Regulation: It helps regulate plant hormones, influencing everything from root development to flower and seed formation (important for grass reproduction).
• Enhanced Stress Tolerance: Adequate Boron levels significantly improve your turf’s ability to cope with environmental stresses, a major advantage given the common challenges of drought and disease in the Australian climate. This means more resilient, vibrant turf, even in tough conditions.

Incorporating Manutec Boron

Adding Manutec Boron to your turf fertility program can lead to noticeable improvements, resulting in stronger, healthier turf with enhanced colour and density.

However, precision is paramount with Boron. Both too little and too much can negatively impact growth. This is why regular soil testing is highly recommended to ensure you’re applying the precise amount of Boron your turf needs for optimal health. Don’t guess – test and apply with confidence!
