Description:

AGRIVENTURE ZINC OXIDE 39.5% is a high-concentration liquid micronutrient fertilizer. It is widely used in Indian agriculture to treat and prevent zinc deficiency in crops like paddy, cotton, sugarcane, and fruit trees. The suspension concentrate (SC) formulation allows for rapid foliar absorption and long-term plant feeding.

Technical content: ZINC OXIDE 39.5%

Key Features & Benefits:

• Rapid Absorption: Formulated as nanoparticles, it is quickly absorbed through the plant's leaves for a fast-acting nutrient boost.
• High Concentration & Low Dose: The highly concentrated formula means farmers need significantly lower Doses (usually 1 to 2 ml per liter of water) compared to traditional zinc sources, saving on overall fertilizer costs.
• Boosts Nitrogen Metabolism: Zinc is essential for converting nitrogen and urea into proteins and starches, ensuring better grain filling and vegetative growth.
• Mild Fungicidal Action: Beyond nutrition, it helps suppress a broad spectrum of fungal diseases by disrupting the cell membranes of harmful fungi.
• Enhanced Chlorophyll & Auxin Production: It promotes deep green leaves, accelerates photosynthesis, and stimulates stem elongation and dense root development.
• Stress Tolerance: Helps crops better withstand extreme weather conditions, such as cold temperatures and drought.
• Tank-Mix Friendly: It is highly compatible and can be mixed with most common agrochemicals, water-soluble fertilizers, and crop protection products in a single spray.

Crops suitability:

• Cereals: Paddy (Rice), Wheat, Maize, and Sorghum.
• Fruits: Grapes, Banana, Mango, Pomegranate, Apple, and Citrus.
• Vegetables: Tomato, Chili, Brinjal, and leafy greens.
• Cash Crops & Tubers: Cotton, Sugarcane, Potato, and Onion.
• Oilseeds & Pulses: All major oilseed and pulse varieties.

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases):

• Fungal Diseases: It is widely used to manage or prevent mildew (such as powdery mildew), leaf spots, and early blights. Zinc nanoparticles can damage the cell membranes of fungi, restricting their spread.
• Insect Pests: While not a traditional synthetic insecticide, it acts as an insect repellent and growth regulator. It is primarily studied and applied to manage soft-bodied pests and defoliators like the Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), where it can limit fecundity, egg viability, and cause physical deformations.
• Plant Immunity & Vigor: It naturally strengthens the plant's defense mechanisms, making crops more resilient against environmental stress.
• Zinc Deficiency Correction: It corrects "little leaf" syndrome in fruit trees, leaf yellowing in cereals (paddy, wheat), and stunted growth across vegetables (chilli, tomato, brinjal).

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Rapid Uptake: Applied as a foliar spray, the nanoparticle zinc is quickly absorbed through leaves.
• Slow-Release: The Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation slowly deposits and releases zinc on the leaf surface, providing sustained nutrition.
• Enzyme Activation: It activates essential enzymes that drive metabolic processes and regulate plant growth.
• Nitrogen & Carbohydrate Metabolism: It stimulates amino acids to synthesize proteins, helps convert starches to sugars, and boosts nitrogen utilization (e.g., converting urea).
• Chlorophyll Synthesis: It directly triggers the production of chlorophyll, accelerating photosynthesis.
• Growth Regulation: It supports the formation of auxins, which promote stem elongation and young tissue reproduction.
• Disease & Stress Defense: Provides mild fungicidal action by damaging fungal cell membranes and helps plants withstand cold temperatures.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray, Drip Irrigation / Soil Drenching

Dose: 20ml in 15-liter water
