Key Features Of Headland Zinc 500gm
1. Chelated Zinc for Enhanced Absorption
Headland Zinc contains 5% chelated zinc, which is a highly effective form of zinc that allows better absorption by plant roots and foliage. Chelated zinc ensures that the micronutrient remains stable in soil and is not locked up by other minerals, thereby ensuring that your crops receive the full benefit of this vital element.
2. Ideal for a Wide Range of Crops
Zinc is a critical micronutrient that supports plant metabolism, enzyme activity, and the production of proteins. Headland Zinc can be used on a variety of crops including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. It is especially useful for crops like maize, wheat, cotton, sugarcane, and rice, where zinc deficiencies are common.
3. Soil and Foliar Application Flexibility
Whether you’re dealing with soil nutrient deficiencies or need to correct a foliar zinc deficiency, Headland Zinc can be used for both soil application and foliar spraying. Foliar application ensures rapid correction of nutrient deficiencies, while soil application provides long-term benefits for healthy plant growth.
4. Effective Against Zinc Deficiency Symptoms
Zinc deficiency in plants is a major concern, leading to stunted growth, poor leaf development, and reduced crop yields. The addition of Headland Zinc helps prevent and correct these deficiency symptoms, allowing plants to thrive and develop their full potential.
5. Improves Photosynthesis and Plant Growth
Zinc plays a pivotal role in chlorophyll formation and the process of photosynthesis. By supplementing your crops with Headland Zinc, you can expect improved photosynthesis rates, better growth, and enhanced crop quality.
Usage Instructions For Headland Zn
Headland Zinc 500gm can be applied in multiple ways, depending on the specific needs of your crops and soil. Below are the guidelines for both soil and foliar applications.
Soil Application
Dosage per Acre: Mix 50-100 grams of Headland Zinc per acre depending on the severity of zinc deficiency in the soil.
Application Method: Dilute the required amount of Headland Zinc in water (typically 200-300 liters per acre) and apply evenly to the soil.
Timing: It is recommended to apply Headland Zinc during the early stages of crop growth or when symptoms of zinc deficiency become visible. For better results, apply at planting time or early vegetative stages.
Foliar Application
Dosage per Acre: Mix 10-15 grams of Headland Zinc in 15-20 liters of water for foliar spray application.
Application Method: Spray evenly on the upper and lower leaf surfaces, ensuring full coverage.
Timing: Foliar application is most effective when the crop is in the vegetative growth stage or during the flowering phase when nutrient uptake from the soil may be limited.
Frequency of Application
For severe zinc deficiencies, apply 2-3 times during the growing season.
For moderate deficiencies, 1-2 applications may suffice.
Symptoms Of Zinc Deficiency in Crops
Zinc plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. A deficiency in zinc can lead to various visible symptoms, which can vary across different crop types. Here are some common symptoms of zinc deficiency that you should look out for:
Symptoms |
Description |
Yellowing of Leaves (Chlorosis) |
Older leaves may show interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between veins). |
Stunted Growth |
Plants may appear smaller, with leaves that are reduced in size. |
Shortened Internodes |
The distance between leaf nodes (internodes) becomes shorter. |
Leaf Tip Necrosis |
The tips of leaves may die off or show signs of browning. |
Poor Root Development |
Root systems may be weak or poorly developed, leading to nutrient uptake issues. |
Reduced Flowering and Yield |
Plants may fail to produce an optimal number of flowers, resulting in lower yields. |
If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s essential to take action and treat your crops with a zinc supplement like Headland Zinc.
