How much Boron and Manganese does your fertilizer contain?

[Phoenikakias]

How big is the content of those t.e. in the fertilizer you apply? Moreover what is the ratio between them? Equal, double or triple the Mn in relation to B? Or is the fertilizer richer in B than in Mn? Finally is ideal content and ratio of those two t e. Influenced by climate and/or soil type?

For what it's worth, I use PalmGain which contains 1% Mn and only 0.08% B so roughly 12:1 ratio .

I'm now using for my palm trees a slow release fertilizer 19-7-18 with TE content: Magnesium Oxide (MgO)2.0%; Iron (Fe)0.50%; Manganese (Mn)0.10%; Copper (Cu)0.020%; Molybdenum (Mo)0.001%; Zinc (Zn)0.020%.

It has no Boron, deliberately chosen, because my tap water already adds 0,03 (B).

For my cycas, banana trees, alocasias, colocasias, and monstera deliciosa I only use a mineral organic fertilizer 20-10-10, TE:  Magnesium Oxide (MgO)2.0%; Iron (Fe)0.2%; Manganese (Mn)0.5%; Molybdenum (Mo)0.001%; Zinc (Zn)0.020%; Boro 0,2%; Sulfur trioxide 12%; Organic Carbon (C) 11%.

I usually switch between them on what concerns to palms, so that they also can get some organic fertilizer and a different TE blend and rate, mainly on Winter time shorter dosage.

I Don’t fertilize my palms because I’m on drip and seldom get rain so I would just be wasting it . I was wondering if anyone uses fertilizer injection systems if so what brand and how happy are you with it
