Boron • Glycine Amino • Flowering + Fruit Set

Mahafeed’s Prolig-B: An Advanced Boron–Glycine Amino Based Solution for Boron Deficiency

High-yield farming needs more than NPK. Micronutrients decide whether flowering converts to fruit and whether fruits finish without defects. Boron (B) is essential—but also highly sensitive—so deficiency can quickly trigger flower drop, poor pollination, cracking, deformities, and weak sugar accumulation. Prolig-B is built to correct boron deficiency safely and effectively.

Liquid micronutrient: boron bonded with glycine Faster, safer availability vs free boron Focus: pollination, fruit set, quality finish

Quick Outcomes

Less flower drop
Improves pollination and fruit set
Reduced cracking
Supports stronger fruit skin and cell walls
Better sweetness + shine
Improves sugar movement and accumulation

Why Boron (B) Is Essential in High-Yield Agriculture

Progressive farming requires balanced micronutrient management, not just NPK. Among micronutrients, boron (B) is essential for reproductive success and quality finishing. It plays a key role in flower development, pollination, fruit setting, cell wall strength, and sugar movement inside the plant.

Simple rule: If flowering is strong but fruit set is weak—or fruits crack and deform—boron is one of the first things to suspect.

What Boron Deficiency Does to Crops

Boron is highly sensitive. When it becomes deficient, crops can quickly show reproductive failure and quality damage. Typical boron deficiency outcomes include:

  • Flower drop and incomplete pollination
  • Poor fruit set and reduced fruit retention
  • Fruit cracking and deformed fruits
  • Obstruction in sugar accumulation (quality loss)
Flower drop Poor pollination Cracking Deformity Low sweetness

What is Prolig-B?

Mahafeed’s Prolig-B is a high-quality liquid micronutrient formulation containing boron in an amino acid (Glycine) based form. In Prolig-B, boron is not present in free form—it's bonded with glycine, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient availability to crops.

How Boron–Glycine (Amino Based) Technology Works

Prolig-B works through two key mechanisms: efficient boron transport and stronger fruit structure.

1) Glycine acts as a carrier for boron

Glycine helps boron move efficiently from leaves to critical zones like flowers and growing tips. That’s where boron is urgently needed for pollination, fruit setting, and retention.

2) Strengthens fruit skin to reduce cracking

Boron strengthens pectin molecules in the cell wall and binds them more firmly. This improves cell wall integrity, strengthens fruit skin, and helps reduce fruit cracking.

3) Improves pollination, fruit set, and sugar movement

Prolig-B supports pollination and fruit setting, improves sugar translocation and hormonal balance, increases fruit set, and reduces flower drop.

4) Improves sweetness, color, and shine

By promoting sugar accumulation, Prolig-B helps improve fruit size, sweetness, color, and shine—traits buyers pay for.

5) Helps crops handle stress

The glycine amino acid component also supports tolerance against heat, water, and chemical stress.

Bottom line: Prolig-B doesn’t just “add boron”—it helps deliver boron where it matters most and improves the crop’s finishing quality.

Crops and Field Results Reported with Prolig-B

Progressive farmers across various regions have reported remarkable results using Prolig-B in: grapes, pomegranate, banana, tomato, chilli, onion, cotton, sugarcane, soybean, and vine vegetable crops.

Improved fruit set
Better retention and conversion from flowering
Higher market quality
Better finish: color, shine, sweetness

FAQs

Common signs include flower drop, incomplete pollination, poor fruit set, fruit cracking, deformed fruits, and reduced sweetness due to poor sugar accumulation.

In Prolig-B, boron is bonded with the amino acid glycine instead of being in free form. This helps with faster, safer, and more efficient availability and transport to flowers and growing tips.

Boron supports cell wall strength by strengthening pectin molecules and binding them firmly, improving fruit skin integrity and helping reduce cracking.

Farmers have reported good results in grapes, pomegranate, banana, tomato, chilli, onion, cotton, sugarcane, soybean, and vine vegetables—especially where flowering, fruit set, cracking, or quality issues exist.

Yes. The glycine amino component supports tolerance against heat, water, and chemical stress, helping crops maintain performance under pressure.

Final Takeaway

Prolig-B is not just a boron fertilizer—it’s a glycine amino-based boron delivery system designed for modern farming. It helps correct boron deficiency, improves flowering and fruit setting, reduces cracking, boosts sweetness and finish quality, and supports better yields and economic returns.
