Zinc Deficiency
Zinc is needed for the production of several important enzymes and auxins for plant growth. It is often closely associated with copper in nutrition. Zinc deficiency causes severe stunting of plants, leading to low productivity. Plants display small, thin and yellow leaves. Stalks have shortened internodes.

Zinc deficiency is often seen in sandy soils; high pH soils, or soils with low levels of organic matter. For cereals such as wheat, grain analysis is used to monitor and maintain levels of zinc for high productivity.

Application Rates: Apply Soil and Foliar Zinc early to soil, or foliar at a rate of 2 litres per hectare for mild deficiency, or for severe deficiency, at a rate of 3 litres per hectare.

Water (minimum): Broad-acre crops at 50 litres per hectare, and horticultural crops at 400 litres per hectare.
