ISTARKA Zn-Mn prevents or corrects zinc and manganese deficiency, by foliar application. These micronutrients are essential for photosynthesis to take place. In addition, zinc is necessary for the formation of carbohydrates and for protein synthesis, and manganese takes part in metabolic processes such as the synthesis of lignin. The application of ISTARKA Zn-Mn prevents physiopathies caused by zinc and manganese deficiency such as chlorosis, spotting and decreased growth, thus helping improve crop profitability.
Both of these micronutrients are complexed by lignosulphonates, natural molecules derived from lignin, containing sugars that facilitate the product’s penetration into the plant without causing phytotoxicity.
Micronutrients that are complexed by lignosulphonates are highly stable against photodegradation, and so ISTARKA Zn-Mn can be applied by foliar application while maintaining full effectiveness.
