Product Type
Organic zinc complex corrector
ZINC FORTE
30% organic zinc complex for rapid Zn correction, supporting rooting, shoot growth, flowering, fruit set, maturity and efficient nutrient use.
ZINC FORTE is an organic zinc complex containing 30% zinc. It is intended for crops with high zinc requirements, including corn, potatoes, cereals, fruit trees, strawberries, onions, spinach and soybeans.
Zinc is required for protein metabolism and forms part of enzyme systems involved in plant growth. The product is especially relevant where zinc availability is restricted by factors such as high soil pH, high phosphorus levels or poor oxygen conditions in the root zone.

How it works / Technical advantages
ZINC FORTE provides 30% zinc in the form of an organic complex. The formulation is designed for crops with elevated zinc demand and for growing conditions in which zinc availability may be restricted.
The source specifically recommends preventive applications and advises applying the product as soon as possible when a zinc deficiency becomes evident. Its crop table provides separate fertigation and foliar rates for a wide range of fruit, vegetable and field crops.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Use the crop-specific fertigation and foliar rates below. Preventive applications are recommended. If zinc deficiency becomes evident, apply as soon as possible. Keep the prepared solution under agitation for 10-15 minutes. The source also gives a general rate of 2-2.5 kg/ha for all crop types without specifying the application route.

Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
ZINC FORTE is intended to prevent and correct zinc deficiency. The source identifies several conditions that can contribute to poor zinc nutrition: low total zinc in the soil, high soil pH, high phosphate applications, high salt concentrations, waterlogging or flooding, high soil organic matter, zinc-inefficient crop varieties and low manure applications.
Precautions & storage
Keep the prepared solution in the tank under agitation for 10-15 minutes. Shake before use. No specific storage conditions are stated in the source document.
