Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC
Zinc deficiency is one of the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies in crops and pastures worldwide and causes large losses in crop production and crop quality. Zinc oxide is recognized as an essential micronutrient to plants and grains. It can substitute zinc sulphate in most of the fertilizers’ formula as a source for the essential element zinc. The use of zinc oxide as an inorganic micronutrient fertilizer includes direct application to soils to correct the zinc deficiency, root dipping and seed coating before crop transplant but also as an ingredient for foliar applications of zinc. These are widely used, especially with fruit trees and grapevines.
Zn is taken up mainly as the divalent cation (Zn2+ ion) by plant roots.

The function of Zinc: It is used in the formation of chlorophyll and some carbohydrates, conversion of starches to sugars and its presence in plant tissue helps the plant to withstand cold temperatures. Zinc is essential in the formation of auxins, which help with growth regulation and stem elongation.
Zinc Deficiency: Like most micronutrients, zinc is immobile, meaning the deficiency symptoms occur in the new leaves. Symptoms vary depending on the crop. Typically they are expressed as some varying pattern of chlorosis of the new leaves (often interveinal) and necrotic spots may form on the margins or leaf tips. These new leaves are smaller in size and often cupped upward or distorted. The internodes shorten, giving the plant a rosette appearance and bud development is poor resulting in reduced flowering and branching.
