Why This Matters
This launch addresses a long-standing challenge in crop nutrition—boron management—with a scientifically advanced, sustainable alternative to soluble fertilizers. By replacing in-season foliar sprays with a seed-applied, slow-release solution, Soileos Boron + Zinc enhances nutrient uptake, reduces environmental loss, and aligns with climate-resilient, low-carbon farming initiatives.
