ZINC-8 DESCRIPTION

ZINC-8 Supports vital biochemical reactions in all turf, plants and crops. Zinc activates enzymes that are responsible for the synthesis of certain proteins. Zinc is used in the formation of chlorophyll and some carbohydrates, and conversion of starches to sugars. When present in proper ratios, zinc helps the plant to withstand cold temperatures. Zinc is also essential in the formation of auxins, that help with growth regulation and stem elongation.

Zinc deficiencies usually stunt plant growth, and result in decreased number of tillers, chlorosis in smaller leaves, slow crop maturity, spikelet sterility and inferior quality of crops.

BENEFITS OF USE

  • Supports chlorophyll production
  • Aids protein synthesis
  • Improves tolerance to cold temperatures
  • Boosts carbohydrate production and storage of starches within the plant
  • Promotes natural plant hormone production
  • Supports conversion of inorganic phosphorus into organic forms in the plant
  • Promotes enhanced stress tolerance
  • Easy-to-use liquid fertilizer formula
  • Use year-round!

APPLICATION

SHAKE WELL OR STIR BEFORE USE.

ZINC-8 is highly concentrated for pro-level performance and value. Dilute with water to ensure adequate coverage. Jar test for compatibility prior to final tank mixing with other products.

AGRICULTURE & HORTICULTURAL: Apply 1-4 quarts per acre every 30 days with a fertilizer injection system or sprayer.

LAWNS & GRASSES: Foliar apply 1-2 quarts per acre in 25-50 gallons of water per acre or for smaller areas apply 1-2 ounces per 1000 square feet in 5-10 gallons of water. Apply every 7-10 days or as needed with sprayer. Water normally following application.

FOLIAR FEEDING TREES & SHRUBS: Dilute 1-2 quarts in 100 gallons of water and spray on foliage to point of runoff.

ROOT FEEDING TREES & SHRUBS: Dilute 1-2 quarts to 100 gallons of water.

TERMINOLOGY

AUXINS | A plant hormone which causes the elongation of cells in shoots and is involved in regulating plant growth.

CHLOROPHYLL | A natural compound present in green plants that gives them their color. It helps plants to absorb energy from the sun as they undergo the process of photosynthesis.

PLANT HORMONE | Determines the formation of the root, stem, leaf, and flower and facilitate the shedding of leaves and the development and ripening of fruits.

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS | Proteins are important in all cells and do different jobs, such as incorporating carbon dioxide into sugar in plants and protecting bacteria from harmful chemicals.

SULFUR | Used in the formation of amino acids, proteins, and oils. It is necessary for chlorophyll formation.

ZINC | Hormone production and internode elongation.
