Description

Mikrochelat Zn15 Intermag - the most effective source of zinc for your plants

Mikrochelat Zn-15 is a fertiliser containing fully zinc chelated by EDTA (150 g Zn/kg (15%)). Zinc (Zn) prepared in chelate form is absorbed, transported and assimilated by plants faster compared to zinc supplied to plants in other forms. Additionally, it is stable and safe for plants in all application techniques.

Zinc and its importance:

  • is efficiently and quickly taken up by plants from solutions in foliar feeding, in fertilisation treatments with irrigation (fertigation) and from soil after soil fertilisation,
  • safe for plants in all application techniques (according to recommended doses),
  • stable in compound solutions used in foliar treatments, fertigation and soil spraying,
  • stable in a wide pH range of solutions/media,
  • stable in soils across a wide pH range.

Zinc (Zn) supplied in Mikrochelat Zn-15 Intermag positively affects the size and quality of the yield. It stimulates auxin production, which influences proper plant growth and development. It improves the overall condition of plants, resulting in good yields. Additionally, it intensifies the development of buds (flower, leaf) in orchard crops. Plants are more resistant to periodic water shortages and low temperatures. After stress conditions occur, they regenerate faster.

What are the benefits of using Mikrochelat Zn-15?

  • Thanks to the unique ultragranule structure, the granules dissolve quickly and completely (also in cold and hard water). Solubility in demineralised water is 900 g/l. The solution formed after dissolving ultragranules is free of sediment.
  • Does not cake or dust when poured into the water tank.
  • The product is stable in the pH range 2–10.

Mikrochelat Zn15 Intermag fertiliser can be used preventively and interventively:

Used preventively in crops with high zinc requirements (e.g. maize, cereals, potato, fruit trees and shrubs, strawberry, onion, spinach, soybean) it is the most effective source of Zn. The product is also essential when soil conditions limit the availability of this element to plants. Such conditions include high pH, high phosphorus content, lack of oxygen in the root zone. Used at the recommended timings and doses in fertilisation programmes for specific species, it effectively prevents zinc deficiency in plants.

Used interventively it effectively eliminates zinc deficiency and limits the negative effects of such periodic deficiency. Foliar feeding is necessary when visual symptoms of zinc deficiency appear on plants or when plant tissue analysis indicates too low zinc content (hidden deficiencies).

Application techniques of Mikrochelat Zn15:

  • foliar feeding,
  • fertigation (in inert, organic substrates, in soil),
  • soil spraying/watering or top dressing after mixing with other soil fertilisers.

Other uses of Mikrochelat Zn 15:

Mikrochelat Zn-15 by Intermag can also be used as a component of dry and liquid fertiliser mixtures. We also recommend it as a zinc source for other chemicals.

Composition of Mikrochelat Zn-15 Intermag:

  • Content of zinc (Zn) chelated by EDTA: 150 g Zn/kg (15%).

How to use Mikrochelat Zn-15?

FERTIGATION (fertilisation with irrigation) of crops in inert, organic substrates, in soil:

  • Detailed recommendations (composition of the nutrient solution and frequency of application) should consider the nutritional requirements of plants and agrotechnical and climatic conditions of the crop (including substrate type).
  • Calculations should take into account the zinc (Zn) content in other fertilisers used to prepare the nutrient solution and in the water used.
  • Fertigation in inert substrates and coconut substrate as well as hydroponic crops (nutrient solution supplied continuously or multiple times per day).
  • - The most commonly recommended zinc (Zn) content in the ready-to-use nutrient solution is 0.3–0.8 mg Zn/l (i.e. 2–5.3 g MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 per 1000 l).
  • - When preparing concentrated solutions, the dose of MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 should be proportionally increased.
  • Fertigation in organic substrates and soil (nutrient solution supplied periodically - multiple times during the vegetation period). When using MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 with other fertilisers in the ready-to-use nutrient solution, do not exceed the total concentration of 0.2% of all components (i.e. 2 kg and/or l per 1000 l of nutrient solution). Recommended amount of MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 during the entire growing season (in split doses, max. 1 kg/ha per cycle):
  • - 1–3 kg/ha (agricultural crops sprinkling: maize, sunflower, potato, soybean and other legumes, flax, cereals),
  • - 1–3 kg/ha (fruit shrubs, strawberry, vegetables, ornamental plants),
  • - 2–4 kg/ha (pome and stone fruit trees, nuts, grapevine).

SOIL SPRAYING/WATERING or TOP DRESSING after mixing with other soil fertilisers:

  • Spray the soil with solution before sowing or planting seedlings, or use together with other soil fertilisers.
  • Recommended amount of MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 during the entire growing season: 2–3 kg/ha.
  • - 1–3 kg/ha (agricultural crops: maize, sunflower, potato, soybean and other legumes, flax, cereals)
  • - 2–4 kg/ha (fruit shrubs, strawberry, vegetables, ornamental plants).

FOLIAR FEEDING:

  • In foliar feeding treatments, use MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 in aqueous solution. The fertiliser can be used together with other products after conducting a compatibility test.
  • Interventively - use MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 when visual symptoms of zinc deficiency appear on plants or after diagnosing too low zinc content in plants, as well as after stress (e.g. after spring frosts in orchards). Perform treatments every 3-7 days until deficiency disappears at doses:
  • - agricultural crops: 0.25–1 kg/ha,
  • - fruit trees, grapevine: 0.5–1 kg/ha,
  • - fruit shrubs, strawberry, vegetables, ornamental plants: 0.2–1 kg/ha.
  • Preventively - use MIKROCHELAT Zn-15 at timings and doses presented in the table below.

Fertiliser doses can be modified considering individual plant needs and cultivation conditions. At low air humidity, avoid using solutions with concentration exceeding 0.15% (1.5 kg fertiliser/1000 l water). When applying foliar feeding in protected cultivation, do not exceed 0.15% concentration.
