Zinc & Manganese Chelate Nutrition

Zinc & Manganese Chelate

Liquid Fertilizer Multiple Micro Nutrient

Description
Zinc is required for the activity of various types of enzymes. Its basic function is related to auxins (growth promoting substances i.e. gibberellic acid, and inhibitors for vegetative growth like abscisic acid). Other functions related to the metabolism of carbohydrates, and proteins. The Zinc & Manganese Chelate is a foliar liquid fertilizer developed by Agmin Chelates.

Zinc deficiency produces visible symptoms of stunted growth due to shortening of internodes ("rosetting") and drastic decrease in leaf size ("little leaf"). The correction of these visible symptoms should not be confused with the increased vegetative growth produced by a zinc-spray containing nitrogenous substances.

Manganese deficiency appears as interveinal yellowing in young leaves. In grasses brownish spots or streaks appear at the base to middle part of younger leaves. The causes of manganese deficiency may occur for several reasons:

Soil is high in phosphorous, calcium and magnesium.
Liming of acid soils.
High soil pH.
Heavily leached sands and light textured soils.

Agmin's AGB Zinc & Manganese Chelate nutrient mix is chelated using an organic chelating agent lignosulphonate, meaning it has a high plant availability, is quickly absorbed by leaves and is rain fast.

General Application Rates

Slight Deficiency (Maintenance): 3.0 L/Ha
Moderate Deficiency: 5.0 L/Ha

The application rates above are guidelines. Agmin always recommends consultation with your local agronomist to base the application rates on soil and plant tissue testing, paddock history, environmental factors, soil conditions, and crop type.
