Balancer (BMO)

Boron and Molybdenum don't get much attention on the average farm — but they're doing some of the most important work at critical growth stages. Balancer delivers both in a single, compatible solution built for high-performing row crop systems.

Boron is essential at reproductive stages. It plays a direct role in pollen viability and germination, which determines whether flowers set seed. It drives sugar translocation — moving photosynthates from leaves toward developing grain — and strengthens cell walls in ways that reduce hollow stems, ear abortion, and pod loss. Without adequate boron during flowering, you can lose yield potential without any visible stress symptoms until it's too late.

Molybdenum works on the nitrogen side of the equation. In legumes, it's required for the enzyme nitrogenase — the key enzyme in biological nitrogen fixation. In corn and wheat, it drives the conversion of nitrate nitrogen into amino acids inside the plant. High-yield crops running high-nitrogen programs can run Mo short, particularly in acidic or high-pH soils where availability drops. Adding Mo with nitrogen applications keeps that conversion running and improves how efficiently the plant uses the N you've invested in.

One caution: excessive Molybdenum accumulation in forages can be toxic to ruminant animals. Use Balancer at labeled rates and do not apply to forages intended for cattle, sheep, or other ruminants.

"Boron protects pod set and grain fill. Molybdenum makes nitrogen efficient. Both are often limiting — and both are addressed with a single application of Balancer."

When to Apply
• Pre-tassel or pre-flower in corn and soybeans
• With nitrogen applications (Mo complements N programs)
• Reproductive stages where pod set and grain fill are the focus
• Compatible with most nitrogen applications
