Abstract
A pourble aqueous borate-containing suspension which suspension in water contains 8 to 13% by weight boron as sodium pentaborate, 0.1 to 3% by weight of a swellable clay, and 0.05 to 0.2% by weight of a polysaccharide. The aqueous compositions according to the invention are physically stable, yet pourable and therefore readily handled. They may be used directly or, if appropriate, diluted for use. They may be used as a source of boron for crops or for other applications where there is a need for aqueous soluble borate suspensions.
