Micronutrients

Micronutrient Sulfur Pastilles

Product Description:

• Combined highly degradable Sulfur with premium micronutrients in a homogeneous split-pea shaped pastille.
• Superior handling characteristics compared to typical micronutrient products.
• Each pastille contains micronutrients in a small concentration – this allows for a more even distribution of nutrient, more feeding sites
• Please contact customer service for more information.

Zinc 18% ▪ Sulfur 65%

Product Description:

• Split-pea shaped pastille formed from a homogeneous viscous slurry of high quality Zinc Oxide (Agrazinc 80), Elemental Sulfur and Bentonite.
• Advantage: Lower analysis of the Micronutrient allows for many particles to be more evenly dispersed over a larger area, instead of having a high concentration in one granule.

Agronomic Notes:  Zinc

• Zinc plays a role in the production of chlorophyll and growth hormones, and is active in respiration and carbohydrate synthesis.
• Availability of Zinc (and also Boron, Copper, Iron and Manganese) decreases dramatically with increased soil pH.  Therefore the zone of acidification created by elemental Sulfur oxidation improves Zinc availability.

Iron 5% ▪ Zinc 5% ▪ Sulfur 77%

Product Description:

• Split-pea shaped pastille formed from a homogeneous viscous slurry of high quality Zinc Oxide (Agrazinc 80), Black Iron Oxide (Magnetite), Elemental Sulfur and Bentonite.
• Advantage: Lower analysis of the Micronutrient allows for many particles to be more evenly dispersed over a larger area, instead of having a high concentration in one granule.

Copper 5% ▪ Sulfur 82% : Custom Blend

Product Description:

• Split-pea shaped pastille formed from a homogeneous viscous slurry of high quality Cupric Oxide, Elemental Sulfur and Bentonite.
• Advantage: Lower analysis of the Micronutrient allows for many particles to be more evenly dispersed over a larger area, instead of having a high concentration in one granule – many more feeding sites.

Agronomic Notes:  Copper

• Copper is essential for straw strength, pollen fertility, Carbohydrate transport and Chlorophyll production, and is involved in photosynthetic and respiration systems.
• Ergot in wheat, barley and oats is from Copper deficiency causing pollen sterility.  This forces the normally closed flowers to open and expose stigmas to ergot infection.
