That would be 5,000 ppm Boron that is soluble. Is this for foliar application?

Here is a study on Radishes.. Looks like 1/500 is the magic number there. Let us know if you find something on cucurbits.

Also looked around on Craigs site and found the 5%Cal - 0.5%B...
Basiclly looks like between 1 and 3.5 ounces of the product applyied foliar to a 620 Sq. ft. plant.

My soil test recommends the following ratios-
from
http://www.westernlaboratories.com/


Ca:K should be 15:1 for pH > 7
Ca:K should be 10:1 for pH < 7
and K:B should be 200:1
so Ca:B should be 2000:1 to 3000:1
