Borax Pentahydrate (Premium Agriculture Grade)

What is Borax Pentahydrate?

Borax Pentahydrate is a highly concentrated, premium source of Boron for farming. Unlike the standard Decahydrate version, this formula contains less water molecules in its structure, which means it packs a much bigger punch with 15.0% pure Boron. Because it is highly concentrated, you need to apply less product per acre to get the same outstanding reproductive results, making it an exceptionally cost-effective choice for modern agriculture.

The Tech Specs (Standard Data)

Here is the standard technical breakdown of this high-strength material:

• Look and Feel: Free-Flowing, White Crystalline Granules or Powder

• Boron Content (as B): 15.0% minimum

• Sodium Tetraborate Pentahydrate Purity: 99.0% minimum

• Water Solubility: Excellent (dissolves faster and cleaner than Decahydrate)

• pH (1% Solution): Alkaline (usually between 9.0 to 9.3)

Why Farmers Love It (The Main Advantages)

• High-Concentration Efficiency: Containing 15% Boron means you use less product weight per acre compared to standard 10.5% Borax. This saves you money on transportation, warehouse storage space, and field labor.

• Supercharges Flowering & Fruit Set: Boron is the exact spark plug needed for pollen germination and pollen tube growth. It prevents early flower drop, ensuring more of your blossoms turn into actual fruits and vegetables.

• Stops Fruit Cracking & Hollowing: It prevents common deformities like cracked fruit skin, misshapen vegetables, and hollow hearts in tubers. It hardens cell walls, ensuring your harvest is dense, smooth, and beautiful.

• Faster, Cleaner Dissolution: Because of its pentahydrate form, it dissolves much more quickly and completely in water than traditional borax, making tank mixing a breeze for farmers.

Where and How to Use It

• Best Crops: High-demand crops including fruit orchards (pomegranate, grapes, citrus, apple), cash crops (cotton, sugarcane), oilseeds (sunflower, mustard), and vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, potato).

• How to Apply: Most commonly applied as a basal dose to the soil during land preparation or early stages of growth. Because of its premium solubility, it is also highly popular for specific fertigation (drip irrigation) and foliar spray programs.

General Dosage Guide (The Rough Estimates)

For Soil Application / Broadcasting (Per Acre)

• Standard Soil Correction: About 1.5 kg to 3 kg per acre (compared to 2-5 kg of Decahydrate). Mix it thoroughly with sand, dry soil, or well-rotted farmyard manure (FYM) to ensure an even spread across the field.

• Frequency: Usually applied once a season as a basal dressing.

For a Foliar Spray & Drip (Quick Fix)

• The Mix: Mix 1 gram to 1.5 grams of Borax Pentahydrate per 1 litre of clean water (a 0.1% to 0.15% solution).

• Tip: Because this 15% version is highly concentrated, keep the dosage lower and precise. It dissolves smoothly directly into the spray or drip tank.

A Quick, Friendly Heads-Up (The Important Stuff!)

Every Field is Different!

Please keep in mind that these dosages are just standard, broad guidelines. Farming isn't one-size-fits-all! The exact amount your crops need can vary wildly from soil to soil, region to region, and customer to customer depending on your local climate, water quality, and soil pH (high pH, alkaline, or heavily limed soils lock up boron very quickly).

• Test, Don't Guess (The Narrow Window): Since this product is highly concentrated, a little goes an exceptionally long way. The line between fixing a boron deficiency and causing toxicity is very narrow. Over-applying boron can harm your plants. We always highly recommend a local soil test or consulting with a certified agronomist before launching a large-scale program.

• Storage and Care Tips: Store the bags in a cool, dry place and ensure the packaging is tightly sealed. Keep it away from high humidity to prevent any clumping. Always use clean, plastic containers for mixing.

• Our Liability: Because we cannot control weather patterns, individual soil chemistry, or how a customer stores, blends, and applies the product on-field, we provide this high-purity material but cannot guarantee final crop yields or performance. Final results are in nature's hands
