In strawberry culture, farmers pay a lot of attention to the high content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in fertilizers. However, in addition to these three macronutrients, the use of micronutrients is also important. One of these is boron, which plays an especially important role during the flowering period of strawberries. For example, boron is essential for the full flowering of a plant; It improves the productivity of pollen grains; participates in the formation of the plant cell wall; It helps in the development of roots and buds and also transports the sugars formed on the leaves of the borax to the fruit.

Boron deficiency can be recognized by looking at the plant, in particular, if pollination due to boron deficiency is not complete, then it leads to deformed fruits, the intensity of photosynthesis decreases and newly formed leaves are chlorotic. Therefore, for the perfect development of the fruits, it is important to foliar feed the plant with boron-containing fertilizer before flowering.

We must not forget that fruit deformation can be caused not only by imperfect pollination, but also by bad weather, because bees cannot pollinate flowers on rainy days. In addition to the reasons listed above, calcium deficiency also causes small and deformed fruits.

In order to avoid damaged and deformed strawberry fruits and get a bountiful harvest, Agrocompany Baraka offers the highest quality fertilizers and pesticides of the world’s leading agribusiness brands.
