Ray adds the dry granular boron to our fertilizer when he spreads it pre-plant. But we often have to go back with more if we see the crop performing poorly. Then he mixes it in with the BT when he sprays. You could also just sprinkle a bit around as a "sidedress".

But don't go overboard with it. A little is good. More is not better. In concentration Boron is used as a pre emerge herbicide. Only beets are immune in part because they need a lot of boron to grow well.
