Benefits of Boric Acid

Boric acid offers numerous benefits for both plants and pest control. It is particularly effective in alkaline and boron-deficient soils, helping to correct issues such as leaf mottling, yellowing, and stunted growth. By applying boric acid, you can significantly enhance the health and vitality of your plants, ensuring they thrive in their environment.

Fully Soluble for Hydroponics

One of the standout features of this boric acid powder is its full solubility. This means it can be easily dissolved in water, making it ideal for fertigation and hydroponic systems. When used in these applications, boric acid can provide essential nutrients directly to the plant roots, promoting optimal growth and development.

Directions for Use

To effectively use boric acid as a trace element, it should be applied when there is a deficiency in Boron (B). Signs of deficiency include mottled, yellow, and small leaves. The recommended application times are during Spring, Summer, and Autumn, particularly for fruit trees. Boric acid can be applied as a foliar or soil application, with specific instructions for each method:

• Soluble Application: Dissolve 10g of boric acid in 9L of water.
• Soil Application: Apply this solution to 10 sqm of soil once every three months.
• Foliar Application: Spray your plants thoroughly, ensuring coverage on both sides of the leaves, stems, and topsoil.
• Dry Application: Apply at a rate of 5-10g per 10sqm.

It is important to avoid applying boric acid to acidic soils, as this can lead to adverse effects on plant health.

Pest Control with Boric Acid

Boric acid is a non-toxic option for pest control, particularly in homes with pets. When used correctly, it can effectively eliminate pests such as cockroaches and ants without posing a significant risk to animals. The key to using boric acid for pest control is to ensure that pets cannot access the treated areas. If ingested in small amounts, boric acid typically passes through the system without harm, but excessive consumption can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms.

Using Boric Acid for Cockroaches

Cockroaches are notorious for their cleaning habits, which can be exploited when using boric acid for pest control. Lightly dusting boric acid powder on surfaces where cockroaches are found allows them to ingest the powder while cleaning their feet. It is crucial not to apply too much, as cockroaches can detect the substance and may avoid it. For optimal results, use a fine powder rather than granular boric acid.

Ant Control with Bait Method

Boric acid is particularly effective against ants when used in a bait mixture. To create an effective bait, mix boric acid with sugar at a concentration of 5% or less. Adding a small amount of water will help achieve a paste-like consistency. Place the bait in areas where ants are active; they will consume it and carry it back to their colony, leading to the elimination of the entire colony within hours.

Other Pests

Boric acid can also be effective against other pests that regularly clean themselves, provided they are not in the larval stage and do not have piercing mouthparts. However, it is important to note that boric acid will not be effective against bed bugs or pests that feed on blood or plant juices.

Grain Measurements and Particle Size Distribution

The particle size distribution of this boric acid powder is crucial for its effectiveness. The following measurements indicate the quality of the product:

• Retained on 1.000mm (18 mesh) sieve - Max 4%
• Passing on 0.063mm (230 mesh) sieve - Max 4%
• Extremely Fine Granule

With its high purity and versatility, boric acid powder is an invaluable resource for gardeners and pest control enthusiasts alike. Whether you're looking to enhance plant growth or tackle pest problems, this product is designed to meet your needs effectively.
