Zinc is Essential for Life

• Humans, animals, plants need zinc to function

• Affects over 300 enzymes in the body

• Helps generate cells

• Important for growth and brain development

• Key for immune system

• People need up to 15 mg of zinc per day

WSF Fertilizers products

• Specialty Fertilizers are fully water-soluble

solid fertilizers.

• They have high content of primary

nutrients with low salt index.

• They may or may not have Secondary /

micro-nutrients.

• These water-soluble fertilizers can be

advantageously utilized for foliar feeding

and Nutrigation / fertigation, thus helping

in precision agriculture.

Methods of WSF

Fertigation:

Fertilizers and irrigation simultaneously delivered through drip lines

Nutrients are supplied only to root zone.

Nutrients are applied in accordance with plant growth stages.

Benefits of water soluble fertilizers

•Free from chlorides and sodium.

•No salt build up in the crop root zone.

•Contain 100% plant nutrients.

•Fast acting nitrate nitrogen, soluble phosphorus and soluble potassium.

•Completely water soluble without any residues.

•Most of the fertilizers are acidic in nature.

•Hence no special chemical treatment is required to check emitter plugging.

•Maintain optimum soil pH contributing to more uptake of nutrients.

•Most of the fertilizers are blended with micronutrients.

Fertilizer required (kg/ha) = Fert. Element (kg/ha) X 100% of element

Example: 20 kg/ha of N, using ammonium sulphate, containing 21% N.

Fert. Required = 20 (kg/ha) X 100 = 95 kg/ha

Foliar nutrition penetrates from both ways

organic acids / spray fluids pass through the stomata, or traverse the epidermis which is covered by film-like wax cuticle.

Generally, stomata are located on the lower (abaxial) side of a leaf, and the cuticular layer is thicker on the upper (adaxial) side

Nitrobenzene caters energy needs

Plants ability to transform ( oxidatively decompose) benzene and phenol via aromatic ring cleavage. As a result of such degradation carbon atoms are incorporated into organic acids and amino acids.

Oxidation of benzene and phenol by plant enzymes forms muconic acid and further oxidation of muconic acid results in formation of fumaric acid. Degradation proceeds to standard cell metabolites or mineralization.

Thus plant utilizes its carbon, nitrogen and other atoms for intracellular biosynthetic and energetic needs.
