Used as a fertiliser additive for preventing and correcting zinc deficiencies in crops
Provides a long term supply of zinc to crops
Does not dissolve as readily as Zinc Heptahydrate
Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate is appropriate for soil applications on zinc, providing a long term supply of zinc to crops. Annual applications are not necessary.
Uses
Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate is used as a fertiliser additive for preventing and correcting zinc deficiencies in crops.
Zinc (Zn) is important for enzyme activity associated with carbohydrate metabolism in plants and animals. It is also important for protein synthesis in animals.
Application Rates and Advice
Zinc sulphate Monohydrate is typically directly applied to soil at 10-15kg/ha, resulting in substantial residual effects with responses lasting several years. However this product does not dissolve as readily as the heptahydrate form, thus is not appropriate for foliar application.
Do not use this product for fertigation or animal health purposes, as it is an insoluble granule.
Store in a dry place.
