Chemical Raising Agents Chemical raising agents, unlike their biological counterparts, work quickly and do not require time for fermentation. The most common chemical leaveners are baking powder and baking soda. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, needs an acidic component (like buttermilk or vinegar) to activate, creating carbon dioxide gas. On the other hand, baking powder contains both an acid and a base and is ready to work when mixed with liquid. There are two types of baking powder single-acting and double-acting. Single-acting baking powder releases gas as soon as it is moistened, while double-acting baking powder does so in two phases—once when wet and again when heated. This characteristic makes double-acting baking powder particularly popular in recipes that require baking in a preheated oven.

The fluctuating prices of boron fertilizers have significant implications for farmers. For small-scale farmers operating on tight margins, even a slight increase in fertilizer costs can lead to difficult decisions about inputs and crop selections. In many cases, farmers may reduce their overall fertilizer application, potentially impacting crop yield and resulting in lower returns.
