Sources and rate verification
Based on your saved instructions: Guide_Boron.pdf. The saved review does not verify an exact product dose. These references support general principles, not manufacturer approval.
The source does not identify the boron compound or concentration. Its 0.5–1 g per 4 L drench/foliar recipe cannot be verified. Too much boron can injure plants; crop demand alone is not a dosing instruction.
