Active Zinc

Essential for Photosynthesis and Growth in Plant Fertility
Active Zinc logo

Zinc plays a key role in facilitating photosynthesis and indoleacetic acid (which is responsible for stem length). If soil temperatures remain cool during spring planting and early growth, zinc supplementation may be particularly beneficial for crop establishment.

When to Use

As indicated by soil analysis, prior to seeding or with starter fertilizer. Caution is needed to avoid zinc toxicity, especially in cereal crops, so soil analysis testing is necessary, and amounts needed vary by crop.

Benefits

Essential for plant enzymatic processes, including photosynthesis and the production of indoleacetic acid, affecting stem length, leaf size, and overall yield.

ZnSO₄
Active ZINC is made from zinc sulphate, so sulfur is part of the package. Zinc drives early growth hormones while sulfur builds the proteins that growth depends on.
