Miller Boro Zinc™
Support fruit set, nut development, and spring bud health with Miller Boro Zinc™ 10-10—a highly soluble boron and zinc micronutrient for foliar and post-harvest use.
Overview
Miller Boro Zinc™ 10-10 is a highly soluble foliar fertilizer and micronutrient source with 10% zinc, 10% boron, and 5.2% sulfur. Derived from zinc sulfate and boric acid, it is engineered for foliar application and is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. This formulation may be applied in-season to support fruit set and nut development, or post-harvest in perennial crops to strengthen buds and floral parts for the following spring.
Features
- Contains 10% zinc, 10% boron, and 5.2% sulfur
- Highly soluble for rapid nutrient uptake
- Helps activate plant enzymes responsible for protein synthesis
- Compatible with most fungicides and insecticides
- Can be applied by aerial or ground methods
- May be used post-harvest in some perennial tree crops to improve spring health of floral plants
Application
Key crops include, but are not limited to, bananas, almonds, pistachios, and apples
May be applied by ground or aerial application, in sufficient water, for good coverage
Can be applied in-season every 7 to 10 days as needed
Can be applied post-harvest in suitable water volume for complete coverage; especially to help strengthen dormant buds of almonds and pistachios
Always review the product label for crop-specific application rates and recommendations
How Does Miller Boro Zinc™ 10-10 Fertilizer Work?
Boron and zinc work together to support flowering, fruit set, and the overall development of reproductive tissues. Zinc helps activate enzymes responsible for protein synthesis, supports chlorophyll and carbohydrate formation, and helps convert starches into sugars. It also helps processes such as cell division and auxin synthesis in flowers and shoots—especially during bloom.
Boron supports cell wall formation, division, and the development of roots, foliage, flowers, and fruiting structures. Adequate boron fertilization can significantly improve fruit or nut set compared to deficient plants.
In perennial tree crops, boron and zinc may also be applied post-harvest to improve spring floral part health, including pollen tube development. Both nutrients can be absorbed through foliar application and translocated within crops such as almond trees. Foliar feeding provides fast, efficient delivery to target tissues like buds, while soil-applied boron and zinc also improve overall plant nutrient levels.
