Aspire® boron-enhanced potash
Aspire® is a potassium fertilizer with integrated readily-available and slow-release boron fused into every granule, providing precision boron delivery that eliminates the segregation-related variability of conventional blends.
Overview
Boron is essential for cell wall formation and pollen viability but toxic at slightly elevated levels, making uniform application critical. When boron is added to conventional potash blends as a separate product, different particle sizes cause segregation. Aspire fuses boron directly into each potash granule — dual-form delivery provides sodium borate (immediate) and calcium borate (slow-release).
