Boost Your Plant Growth with Zinc Fertilizers: The Ultimate Guide to Zinc and its Benefits

If you want to ensure that your plants grow and develop properly, it's important to make sure they have sufficient zinc. Zinc is essential for many processes in plants, including enzyme function, hormone synthesis, photosynthesis, and stress tolerance. Without enough zinc, plants may experience stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and reduced yields.

There are several types of zinc fertilizers available, including zinc sulfate, zinc chelates, zinc oxide, zinc lignosulfonate, and zinc nitrate. The choice of fertilizer will depend on factors such as the type of crop, soil pH and nutrient levels, and the preferred method of application.

One effective zinc fertilizer is Zintrac 700, which is a concentrated liquid formulation containing 39.5% zinc. This high-nutrient content formulation contains micronized zinc oxide, which is rapidly taken up by plants and provides a long-lasting supply of zinc. Zintrac 700 is formulated using modern milling technology, ensuring that it has excellent wetting, sticking, dispersion, and stabilizing properties. It is also widely tank mixable and can be co-applied with many agrochemicals.

When applying Zintrac 700, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure that you apply the correct amount at the right time. The recommended application rates for various crops are as follows:
