# Boron Deficiency is on the Rise

###### Written on 05/21/2020

**Are you boron deficient?**

Globally, boron deficiency is one of the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies, and Western Canada is not an exception. Boron deficiency is on the rise with over 50% of the soils across Western Canada testing low to very low.

**A couple options to proactively address boron deficiency are:**

1. A soil application followed by a foliar application
2. Two foliar applications - One at herbicide timing followed by an application at fungicide timing.  

Due to the compatibility of the ReLeaf, NRG and Kinetic product lines with herbicides and fungicides, these product options fit simply and easily into an integrated crop plan to address boron deficiency. Check out our compatibility tables  [HERE](https://www.atpnutrition.ca/resources/compatibility-information/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-84zeH05pS8r0xBm6gwspPSRfdkI_wQBOtyBsCVR8x7GjKrvawBD149sWODGs_AMshOJ3GY)  to see how you can add these products into your existing plans.

Please contact me if you have any questions with regards to how to proactively address boron deficiency in your fields.
