ULTRA BOOST FOR PADDY MICRONUTRIENT FERTILIZERS

Micronutrients are essential inorganic elements such as Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Iron, copper, Boron, Molybdenum and others. They are required only in trace quantities by plants. The soil cannot provide all the necessary micronutrients as they are gradually removed through weathering, leaching and other physiological activities. This has created a huge void in the supply of these essential micronutrients to crops.

Micronutrients play a vital role in several physio-biochemical reactions taking place within the plant cells. Some act as co-factors to enzymes and help in enzymatic reactions, some help in the synthesis of various pigments such as chlorophylls, xanthophyll’s, carotenes etc. Several translocations of biological intermediates are facilitated through micronutrients. They are indispensible in the biosynthesis of basic building blocks of the cells such as the DNA, RNA & proteins.

Their deficiencies can be easily identified in crops as it is manifested through various symptoms such as leaf yellowing, stunted growth, leaf, flower & fruit fall, spots on leaves etc. All these deficiencies can be corrected by either applying the necessary micronutrient complex as basal or foliar spray.

Paddy is an agriculturally intensive crop and has a great need for nutrients. Iron, copper, manganese, zinc deficiency result in leaf chlorosis, interveinal yellowing, stunted growth and decreased tillering while boron deficiency leads to rolled leaf tips, death of growing tips and increased spikelet sterility. An immediate application of Ultra BOOST for paddy will help recover plants from all the above symptoms.

• Iron increases synthesis of chlorophyll
• Manganese activates nitrate reductase and helps in carbohydrate catabolism
• Zinc regulates consumption of sugars and works as a metal activator of plant enzymes
• Boron is necessary for translocation of sugars and for DNA synthesis
• Copper is an important constituent of plastocyanin and oxidizing enzymes and aids in protein utilization
• Magnesium is essential for photosynthesis and chlorophyll metabolism

This product is suitable for both Foliar and Basal Application.

Ultra BOOST for paddy is available in Tamil Nadu in the following quantities:

• 5 kg packs for basal application
• 1 kg packs for foliar application
