About Katyayani ZINC OXIDE 39.5% SC

Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC is a suspension concentrate (SC) fertilizer containing 39.5% by weight of zinc oxide (ZnO).

It is a liquid formulation designed for foliar application, meaning it is sprayed directly onto the leaves of plants. It is primarily used in agriculture as a source of zinc for plants. Zinc is an essential nutrient for plants and is required for many plant functions, including chlorophyll production, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis. A deficiency in zinc can lead to stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and reduced crop yields.

Benefits of Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC

• Rapid uptake and long-term feeding: The nanoparticles in Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC are readily absorbed by plants, providing them with a quick boost of zinc. The slow-release formulation ensures that plants continue to benefit from zinc over an extended period.
• Requires low dosage: Due to its high concentration of zinc, Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC can be applied at a lower rate than other zinc fertilizers. This can save growers money on fertilizer costs.
• Can be mixed with a tank with agrochemicals: Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC is compatible with many other crop protection products, so it can be applied in a single tank mix, saving growers time and labor.
• Promotes nitrogen metabolism and produces protein and starch: Zinc plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism, which is essential for plant growth and development. By supplying zinc to plants, Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC can help to improve crop yields and quality.
• Effective fungicide: Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC can be used as a fungicide to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases in crops. It works by disrupting the cell membranes of fungi, preventing them from spreading and infecting plants.
• Improved dispersibility in water : Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC is a suspension concentrate, which means it is formulated to disperse easily in water. This makes it easier to mix and apply, ensuring uniform coverage over crops.
