LURS®
colofermin boron
is a concentrated boron micronutrient fertilizer in organic (easily digestible by plants) form for foliar feeding of potatoes, vegetables, grapes, berry crops and orchards (application rate – 20-30 mL pro 10 L water).
-
environmentally friendly microfertilizer, which eliminates effectively boron deficiency in plants;
-
stimulates pollen germination, improves pollination of flowers and fruit set;
- enhances development of the reproductive organs;
- provokes an intensive water absorption by plant from the soil;
- increases drought resistance of plants by 20%;
- decreases fruit drop, increases fruit formation;
-
provokes sugar accumulation in the tissues of winter crops and fruits of sugar beet, fruit, increases starch content in potatoes.
In which cases it is necessary to apply boron?
-
low fruit set rate, premature fruit drop or absence of premature fruit;
- decrease in root development;
-
cessation of root and stem growth, hold-up or dieback of apical points of plants.
Which crops require boron the most?
- potatoes
- vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots)
- legumes
- spiked cereals
- sugar and table beet
|
- sunflower
- rapeseed
- flax
- alfalfa

Soils with boron deficiency and other factors affecting the absorption of boron
Sod-podzol, gray and brown forest soils are poor in boron.
Reduction of boron digestion also occurs in acidic soils, for example calcareous soils.
Boron deficiency increases with the application of nitrogen fertilizers in excessive amounts as well as in the case of moisture deficit.
What to do if there is a lack of boron?
Application of the LURS® colofermin boron helps to eliminate the symptoms of boron deficiency and prevent their appearance.
Compatibility: LURS® colofermin boron performs well in tank mixes with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and biological preparations. Prior to starting preparation of a tank mix, always check the formulations for compatibility.
Attention:
The microfertilizer is in the liquid state and is ready for immediate use. While observing the storage conditions it does not crystallize and can be applied in a wide range of temperatures, starting from +5°С.
To avoid leaf and fruit burn, do not apply the formulations in high air temperatures. To obtain the maximum effect, it is advisable to conduct treatments in the evening (at a temperature below + 25°С).
Treatment during the flowering period is not recommended.
1. INFORMATION FOR CONSUMERS: follow the instructions when using the formulation. The efficacy of the formulation and its ease of use depend on the application, storage and transportation conditions specified by the manufacturer.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER FORMULATIONS: the micronutrient fertilizer is applied during the growing season either prophylactically or according to the diagnostics results based on the application regulations. It performs well in tank mixes with plant protection products (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer of the plant protection products), urea (in the recommended concentrations when using foliar fertilization of agricultural crops according to the crop growth stages), UAN, plant growth regulators, microfertilizers and biological preparations.
3. PREPARATION OF WORKING TANK SOLUTION:
Warning! Prior to starting preparation of a tank mix, always check the formulations for compatibility!
For this purpose take a container, pour in it some water (which is to be used for the main application), add the tank mix components in proportions, based on the field rates of consumption. After closing the container, mix the contents by shaking it 10-15 times. Evaluate the tank mixture visually twice: immediately after mixing and after the mixture has settled (in about 30 minutes). Incompatibility of formulations is indicated by their separation into layers, residuum occurrence, flocculation of the mixture, formation of sludge that does not disperse.
Attention! It is possible to use the formulation in hard water. The active substances contained in it do not form compounds with hardness salts (СаSO4٠2H2О), hence the solution does not grow turbid.
If there are no compatibility problems, prepare the working solution just before spraying (direct application). Shake the product thoroughly in the original package and pour it directly into the sprayer tank, which is to be previously filled with water to 2/3 of its volume. After this with the mixing mode turned on add the components of the tank mixture in sequence stated in the recommendations and finish the process with filling the tank with water. Stirring of the mixture should be continued throughout the period of its preparation, as well as during application.
Application rates of the spraying solution: field crops — 70-300 L/ha, vegetables — 300-400 L/ha, fruit crops and grapes — 800-1000 L/ha.
4. MIXING ORDER OF SPRAYING SOLUTION COMPONENTS: when preparing the tank mixture, stick to the following sequence of components.
Tank mix
- Water
- Plant growth regulators
- Plant protection products
- LURS® colofermin boron
- Other micronutrient fertilizers (excluding LURS® sulphur active)
- Water
Tank mix with UAN
- Water
- Plant growth regulators
- UAN according to the foliar application recommendations 3-12%+2,5% MgSO4٠7H2O (5% Decahydrate)
- Plant protection products
- LURS® colofermin boron
- Other micronutrient fertilizers
- Water
Tank mix with urea
- Water
- Plant growth regulators
- Urea according to the foliar application recommendations using other liquor (either into the sprayer tank or on the filter)
- Plant protection products
- LURS®colofermin boron
- Other micronutrient fertilizers
- Water
Attention! In preparing a tank mix, care should be taken to ensure that the mixing of the components (such as growth regulators, PPPs, microfertilizers, etc.) is conducted solely in water!
5. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: spraying should be done either early in the morning or in the evening, when the humidity level is high to avoid chemical leaf burn. The optimum air temperature is +10…+25 °С (50 — 77 ºF), wind speed up to 5 — 7 m/s depending on the sprayer type. It is not recommended carrying out spraying operations during foggy weather or in the presence of dew, which can lead to surface overflow of the solution and hence the reduction of the treatment efficiency. The spraying should be stopped 1.5 — 2 hours before the rain.
Attention! Use а freshly mixed solution. Do not store the prepared solution more than 24 hours.
6. STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION:
The formulation should be stored in a warehouse or storage building, designed specifically for this purpose. Storage area should be free of direct sunlight, moisture, pollution and mechanical damage to the container. Store at temperature above 0 ºС below +30 ºС (50 — 86 ºF).
Attention! Due to the high concentration of the active ingredients, storage at low temperatures (-20 ºС/ -4 ºF and below) may result in the product decrease of viscosity and its gelling. Increase of ambient temperature causes the increment of liquid viscosity and the formulation returns to its original state. These processes do not affect in any way the formulation active ingredients and its properties, but the prolonged storage may cause sediment formation.
Store the formulation in the original closed package in an upright position, with the cap facing up in a cardboard box. Do not stack cardboard boxes more than 3 high.
Any form of transport is possible while in covered vehicles. The use of open vehicles, which provide protection against precipitation, is allowed as well.
7. WHO CLASSIFICATION, TOXICITY: 4th toxicity class. The formulation is nontoxic, does not cause allergies, is environmentally friendly and absolutely harmless to pollinating insects.
8. PRECAUTIONS: keep away from children and animals. When carrying out spraying operations, use the appropriate and adjusted equipment, follow generally accepted safety standards.
9. FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS: if the skin or eyes are contaminated with the preparation, flush them with water. If necessary, call a doctor.
10. CONTAINER AND LEFTOVER FORMULATION DISPOSAL: a container and leftover formulation do not require specific methods of disposal and neutralization.
11. STORAGE PERIOD: 5 years.
