Application
Application rates, general
EDTA-Zn 15 may be applied in one application of 1.0 kilogram per hectare but optimum results can be expected if repeat applications are used. In general, foliar applications should be started early in the season as soon as there is sufficient leaf area to absorb the spray.
Application rates, specific
Crop | Rates (kg/ha) | Timing |
Winter Cereals | 0.5 - 1.0 | Apply when Spring re-growth commences. For severe deficiency, an additional full rate application soon after tillering |
Spring Cereals | 0.5 - 1.0 | Apply as soon as there is sufficient leaf area to absorb the spray. |
Maize | 0.5 - 1.0 | Apply as soon as there is sufficient leaf area to absorb the spray. |
Top and Soft Fruit | 0.5 | Begin application in early spring and repeat as necessary throughout the season. |
Pasture | 0.25 - 0.5 | Apply in early spring, the treatment should be repeated annually. |
Water Volume
The amount of EDTA-Zn 15 to be applied should be mixed with a volume of water appropriate to the crop leaf area of the type of spraying machine being used. Typically:
Arable crops: 200 - 600 liters per hectare
Fruit crops: 500 - 1000 liters per hectare
NB: Do not exceed a solution concentration of 0.1% (100 grams per 100 liters of water).
Small Scale Use
Knapsack sprayer - Prepare a 0.05 -0.1% (0.5 - 1.0 gram per litre) solution and apply so as to coat the leaves and stems with a thin film of moisture with little or no run-off.
Hydroponics/fertigation
1ppm (15.63 µmol/L) zinc can be achieved by adding 7.1 grams of EDTA-Zn 15 per 1000L of solution.
Packing
25kgs plastic woven bag, 24mts/20\'FCL, or according to customers requirements.
Storage
Can be stored for a minimum of two years under the correct conditions. For user convenience, it is recommended that the product is stored in a dry place. Re-seal partly used packs tightly.
