Hydroboracite (10% Boron)
Hydroboracite is a combination of the minerals calcium, magnesium, and boron. The majority of boron products available in the NZ fertiliser market are either straight sodium or calcium based. The sodium based forms (borax) are in a highly soluble form and release the boron very quickly, boron can become too high over the short release period causing plant toxicity, these forms also leach very quickly from the soil. The straight calcium based product (Colmanite) is used primarily for forestry where its extremely low level of boron release and 20 year period of release is ideal for trees in the very acid forestry environment. Both these forms are not practical for pasture or crop use here in NZ as they are incapable of maintaining steady release in soils under pasture.
