About SLN Esselbor
Premium Boron Micronutrient Fertiliser For Reproductive Growth And Internal Fruit Quality
SLN Esselbor is a water soluble micronutrient fertiliser containing twenty percent boron in Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate form. This highly available boron source corrects deficiencies quickly and supports critical physiological processes including pollen tube growth, flower retention, fruit formation and cell wall development.
The product dissolves easily in water, making it ideal for foliar spray, fertigation and nursery feeding. It is widely used in fruits, vegetables, flowers and field crops to improve yield, shape, colour and storage quality.
SLN Esselbor is especially important during flowering and fruit setting stages where boron deficiency can severely impact yield and quality.
Product Overview

Simple Explanation That Helps Farmers Understand Why This Boron Is Powerful
- SLN Esselbor contains twenty percent boron in pure Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate form which is highly soluble and easily absorbed by crop leaves and roots.
- Boron plays a key role in the movement of sugars inside the plant. When boron is sufficient, more sugars reach flowers and fruits resulting in better sweetness, colour and taste.
- It supports pollen tube formation which is the most important step in successful fertilisation and fruit setting. Poor boron leads to flower drop and incomplete fruit formation.
- Boron strengthens fruit skin and internal tissues, reducing cracking in crops like pomegranate, grapes, tomato, watermelon and muskmelon.
- It improves cell wall development which increases fruit firmness and enhances shelf life.
- Boron deficiency often shows as hollow centres in crops like cauliflower, beetroot and groundnut. Esselbor quickly corrects these problems because of its fast acting formulation.
- This product dissolves completely in water which ensures uniform distribution during spraying or fertigation.

FAQ's
How does SLN Esselbor improve fruit set in crops like tomato, chilli and pomegranate
SLN Esselbor provides boron in a highly absorbable form that supports pollen tube growth and fertilisation. This ensures better flower retention and higher fruit set even when conditions are stressful. The improvement becomes visible within ten to fifteen days.
Can SLN Esselbor reduce fruit cracking in crops like grapes and pomegranate
Yes the boron strengthens cell walls and improves elasticity of the fruit skin. This reduces cracking caused by temperature changes, irrigation fluctuations or rapid growth.
Is SLN Esselbor safe for foliar spraying on flowers
Yes it is safe because of its low salt index and fast dissolving nature. It does not harm delicate flowers or young fruits when applied at the recommended dose.
How does this product improve internal fruit quality
Boron is responsible for sugar movement and cell wall formation. Good boron nutrition makes fruits sweeter, firmer and more uniform. It also prevents corky or rough textures that reduce market value.
Can I use SLN Esselbor in drip irrigation systems
Yes the product is fully water soluble and dissolves completely without leaving residue. This makes it suitable for all fertigation systems including polyhouse and open field drip irrigation.
Will SLN Esselbor correct hollow stem issues in cauliflower and cabbage
Yes hollow stem is a classic boron deficiency symptom. SLN Esselbor corrects this quickly and improves head density and uniformity.
Does this product help under high temperature or drought stressr drip irrigation systems
Yes boron improves pollen strength and supports proper fertilisation even under heat. It also enhances nutrient mobility during low moisture conditions, helping fruits develop normally.
How frequently should I apply SLN Esselbor
Apply once every fifteen to twenty days during flowering, pollination and fruit setting. Sensitive crops can receive lighter but more frequent applications based on crop load.
Is there any risk in applying more than the recommended dose
Excess boron can cause leaf tip burn or yellowing. Always use recommended dosages and maintain proper dilution for safest results.
Is this product useful in protected cultivation environments
Yes it is highly effective in polyhouse and greenhouse crops where fruit set problems are common due to humidity or temperature variations. SLN Esselbor improves flower retention and uniform fruit development in such environments.
