Zinc foliar fertilisers are specially developed for application to the leaves. Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element for plants, necessary for various processes in plant metabolism. A deficiency of this nutrient can lead to various growth problems in plants, such as reduced growth, leaf discolouration and leaf damage. Acute nutrient deficiencies can be quickly counteracted by application to the leaf.

Chelated nutrients improve absorption and plant availability for optimal nutrient uptake.

The application of the zinc leaf fertiliser can be combined with other foliar fertilisers and compost tea.

The chelation

A chelate is a chemical compound in which a metal ion is bound to a larger organic molecule, the chelating agent. This bond forms a complex that is both stable and soluble. The chelating agent usually forms multiple bonds with the metal ion, creating a ring-like structure. This unique structure of the chelate increases the stability and bioavailability of the metal ion and prevents it from precipitating or becoming inaccessible to plants or organisms.

Improved nutrient absorption: Chelated nutrients are more readily absorbed by plant leaves, ensuring efficient nutrient uptake.
Improved nutrient use efficiency: Chelated fertilisers increase the availability of nutrients to plants so that they can efficiently take up and utilise the important elements.
Rapid nutrient delivery: Chelated foliar fertilisers deliver nutrients directly to the plant's leaves, enabling rapid uptake and utilisation.
Targeted nutrient application: The application of chelated fertilisers to the plant leaves enables the targeted correction of specific nutrient deficiencies and promotes balanced plant nutrition.
Corrective measures for deficiencies: Chelated fertilisers can quickly correct nutrient deficiencies in plants, preventing or mitigating potential yield losses or negative effects on plant health.
Increased plant growth and development: Chelated foliar fertilisers provide the necessary nutrients for optimal plant growth, resulting in better overall development, yield and quality.
Reduced risk of nutrient loss: Chelation helps prevent leaching or immobilisation of nutrients in the soil, reducing the risk of nutrient loss and ensuring nutrient availability to plants.
Compatibility with other fertilisers: Chelated foliar fertilisers can be easily combined with compost tea, fertilisers or other agents for convenient and efficient application.
Environmentally friendly option: Chelated foliar fertilisers can be applied in smaller quantities compared to traditional fertilisers applied to the soil, reducing the risk of environmental pollution.
Flexible application methods: Chelated foliar fertilisers can be applied by foliar spraying, drip irrigation or fertigation systems, allowing flexible application according to crop requirements and growth stage.

Application and dosage

Crop	Application rate
General	For zinc supply: 2-4 l/ha as foliar fertilisation in at least 200 l water/ha or 5-8 l/ha over the soil.
Viticulture	Flowering, fruit set, more uniform maturity: 3-4 l/ha when enlarging the clusters over the leaf.
Pome fruit	Rosette leaf quality, initial development and shoots: 1-2 times 3-4 l/ha at the red bud stage and/or after harvest over the leaf.
Stone fruit	Initial development, shoots: 3-4 l/ha after harvest over the leaf.
Strawberries	Flower bud development and winter hardiness: 3-4 l/ha in autumn over the leaf.
Vegetables	For leaf quality and initial development: 2-4 l/ha at 15 cm growth height over the leaf.
Corn	Cob filling :1-2 times 2-3 l/ha over the leaf from 4 leaf stage.
Citrus plants	0.25-0.5% foliar spray.
Cereals	For yield increase and grain quality: 2 l/ha from 2 leaf stage over the leaf.
Hops	Bud & shoot development and quality: 3-5 times with 0.05-0.1% solution over the leaf from 1 m growth height.
