-Borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) is found in few regions around the world including: Turkey, US, Tibet, and Chile. However it is most abundant in the small mining town of Boron, CA, USA; it is home of the largest Borax mine in the world. These counties combined mine and annual amount of approximately 2 million tons of Borax.
Fertilizer
Boron is an essential micro nutrient in vital fertilizer. Even though plants naturally contain boron, boron fertilizer is also added to vegetation to increase this amount. Doing this can either positively impact the agriculture by providing the appropriate amount of boron and eliminating the possibility of boron deficiency, or can extremely damage it by over dosing the amount of boron and causing boron toxicity.
Complications
Boron is not present in nature in elemental form- MUST be a compound (ie. Borax).
