Zinc Zn HBED 10% Description:ADOB® Zn IDHA – 10% is a specialized fertilizer specially formulated to supply plants with highly available zinc cations.
Thanks to a patented production process, ADOB Zn IDHA – 10% is characterized by many unique properties. IDHA is a state-of-the-art, fully biodegradable chelating agent (75% degradation within 28 days), a feature that makes it the only environmentally friendly synthetically produced chelating agent on the market. The entire zinc concentration in the product (10% w/w) is 100% chelated by IDHA, making it completely effective and fully available to plants. The fertiliser is prepared as fully water-soluble, free-flowing micro-granules without impurities or dust. Due to the “raspberry” shape of the microgranules, the product is not hygroscopic and is self-soluble, without the need for mixing. The solubility of the product is 750g/l at 20oC.
This product serves as an effective source of zinc. It is mainly recommended for transglacial application, especially for fruits and vegetables, as its biodegradability does not cause residues in the products we consume. The product can also be used in fertilization and hydroponics in moderate pH conditions. It is recommended for preventive and corrective fertilization in all agricultural and horticultural crops.
Zinc is present in a wide variety of enzymes, where it helps maintain their structural stability. In addition, zinc acts as an external activator for other important enzymes. Zinc is also involved in a number of important functions in DNA and RNA metabolism, cell division and protein synthesis. It is vital for the metabolism of indole-acetic acid auxin (IAA), which enhances top plant growth. Zinc deficiency is widespread among plants grown in acidic, high temperature and calcareous soils. In the latter case, zinc deficiency is often associated with iron deficiency (“lime chlorosis”). The low availability of zinc in high pH calcareous soils is mainly due to zinc adsorption on clay or CaCO3.
Common symptoms of zinc deficiency include downward growth (‘pinking’) due to shortening of the intergrowth, drastic reduction in leaf size (‘small leaf’) or, in the case of severe zinc deficiency, death of the shoot tips (‘granulation’). Quite often these symptoms are combined with chlorosis, which is either high contrast or diffuse (“stained leaf”). In cereals such as wheat, typical symptoms include a reduction in stem elongation and the development of whitish-brown necrotic spots on middle-aged leaves, while young leaves remain yellowish-green and show no necrotic lesions. ADOB® Zn IDHA – 10%, however, can counteract zinc deficiency, quickly treating these physiological disorders.
