Sanjivani Agrotech Micro Chill Zinc EDTA 12% Fertilizer

Sanjivani Agrotech Micro Chill Zinc EDTA 12% Fertilizer

Sanjivani Agrotech Micro Chill Zinc EDTA 12% is a chelated micronutrient fertilizer formulated to provide essential zinc nutrition to agricultural and horticultural crops. It contains 12% zinc in EDTA-chelated form and is labelled for foliar application. Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in enzyme activation, protein synthesis, growth regulation and healthy plant development.

Zinc deficiency can affect leaf development, internode length and normal crop growth. It may cause interveinal chlorosis, smaller leaves and stunted growth, depending on the crop. Micro Chill can provide supplemental zinc where a deficiency has been identified, helping maintain balanced plant nutrition and normal physiological activities.

Product Details

Key Features and Benefits

• 12% Chelated Zinc: Supplies zinc in EDTA-complexed form for crop nutrition.
• Supports Healthy Plant Growth: Zinc contributes to enzyme functions and normal growth regulation.
• Helps Manage Zinc Deficiency: Provides supplemental zinc where deficiency has been confirmed.
• Supports Leaf Development: Adequate zinc contributes to normal leaf size, chlorophyll-related processes and plant metabolism.
• Supports Protein Synthesis: Zinc participates in enzymes involved in protein production and plant development.
• Supports Reproductive Growth: Proper zinc nutrition contributes to normal flowering, pollen function and seed development.
• Foliar Application: Designed for supplemental nutrient application through foliage according to the product label.

Symptoms of Zinc Deficiency

• Yellowing between leaf veins, particularly on young or developing leaves.
• Smaller leaves and shortened internodes.
• Stunted plant growth and reduced shoot development.
• Yellow or pale bands on maize leaves.
• Khaira-like symptoms in rice, including brown spots and reduced growth.
• Poor crop development where zinc deficiency persists.

Similar symptoms can result from other nutrient deficiencies, herbicide injury or environmental stress. Soil or plant tissue analysis is recommended for confirming zinc deficiency.

Recommended Crops

Zinc is essential for all crops. Zinc EDTA fertilizers are commonly used in crops where zinc deficiency occurs, including:

• Cereals: Paddy, wheat, maize and sorghum.
• Vegetables: Tomato, chilli, brinjal, potato and onion.
• Fruit Crops: Citrus, grapes, mango, banana and pomegranate.
• Pulses: Chickpea, pigeon pea and green gram.
• Oilseeds: Soybean, groundnut and mustard.
• Commercial Crops: Cotton and sugarcane.

Use Micro Chill only as permitted on its manufacturer-approved label.

How Does Micro Chill Zinc EDTA Work?

Micro Chill provides zinc in an EDTA-chelated form. Chelation helps maintain zinc in a soluble form and can reduce undesirable reactions with other substances under suitable conditions.

After absorption, zinc participates in multiple enzyme systems, protein synthesis, normal growth regulation and plant metabolic functions. It is required in small quantities but plays an essential role in normal crop development.

Where zinc deficiency limits growth, appropriate zinc supplementation can help improve plant nutritional status. The response depends on crop stage, deficiency severity, application method and growing conditions.

Dosage and Application Method

Application Method: Foliar Spray, as indicated on the original packaging.
