Abstract:
A granular fertilizer product having at least two sources of boron having different solubilities to tailor boron availability during the entire growing season of a plant, while reducing the risk of boron toxicity. A first source of boron can include a sodium-based or highly water soluble boron compound such as sodium tetraborate and/or boric acid, while a second source of boron can include a calcium-based boron compound such as colemanite (CaB 3 O 4 (OH) 3 .(H 2 O)) (e.g. when the carrier fertilizer is N- or K-based) and/or boron phosphate (BPO 4 ) (e.g. when the carrier fertilizer is P-based). The solubility of the first source of boron is higher than the solubility of the second source of boron such that the sources of boron have different release rates into the soil.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of forming a fertilizer composition containing multiple sources of boron, the method comprising:\n providing a primary nutrient source; adding a first source of boron having a first solubility to the primary nutrient source; adding a second source of boron having a second solubility less than the first source to the primary nutrient source; compacting the primary nutrient source, the first source of boron, and the second source of boron to form the fertilizer composition; and crushing the compacted fertilizer composition into granules.
