Active Boron for Fruit & Tuber Size.
Better grading
Improved bulking of root crops
Higher marketable yield
Increased fruit, pod and tuber size
Damu works by directing the flow of photosynthates in leaves towards roots, fruit and tubers. This helps the plant to use its energy to bulk up the crop rather than force late season leaf growth. This approach both safeguards quality, and improves size of crops ahead of harvest.

Direction of photosynthate flow is the strongest influence on grading late season. If growing conditions favour shoot growth then more undersized tubers or fruit occur and yield reduces. Damu focuses the plant on pushing resource into yield, forming complexes to move sugars and lifting size and quality.
How Boron Helps Potato Growth
The effects on Boron on Avocado Physiology
At levity, we know that science makes the difference. Our team of scientist’s regularly upload insights explaining the science behind our products, and why it works so well.
Avocado crops, particularly Hass type varieties, can suffer from having small fruit. This is associated with stress which increases the proportion of small fruit on the tree. Here we explore why...
Boron is an important nutrient, but one that is tricky to get right owing to it behaving differently on each crop. Here we look at how boron works in tomato and pepper crops and explore how boron...
Getting Pecan growth right means balancing the needs of the crop for Nitrogen to increase yield, with the propensity of the crop to too easily go vegetative. This is the reason for problems with...
Boron is a tricky nutrient to get right, as there is significant variation between crops in the way they transport and metabolise it. On avocado it is more complicated than on many crops due to its...
Boron is the most variable of all plant nutrients in terms of how it is transported and metabolised by different plant species - because of this response to Boron can be highly variable. Boric acid,...
