            | Frank and Tina | South East | Has anyone ever looked in to this, and what is the prefered ratio? or range? | 3/10/2009 12:46:32 AM | 
		
            | *Old *Man* | Sheridan . NY |    suggest feeding is 5%cal -.5% boron -once a week to the gal H20  | 3/10/2009 8:57:23 AM | 
		
            | Boy genius | southwest MO | That would be 5,000 ppm Boron that is soluble. Is this for foliar application?  | 3/10/2009 9:38:59 AM |

 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.

            | gordon | Utah | 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
