Micronutrients Help Your Soil
Soil health is the cornerstone of successful farming and gardening. While macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are important, micronutrients help your soil too and their power cannot be overstated. These essential elements, though required in smaller quantities, are vital for the growth and development of plants. AgriTec International’s range of biological products, including Foliar-Act, Bio-Act, Alt-15, and Sur-Tec Liquid Surfactant, enhance soil health by ensuring adequate micronutrient availability.
Role of Micronutrients in Plant Health
Micronutrients such as boron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and cobalt play crucial roles in various plant physiological processes. For instance, boron is essential for cell wall formation and reproductive growth, while manganese acts as a cofactor in enzyme systems involved in photosynthesis. Zinc influences the synthesis of plant hormones and DNA transcription, while molybdenum is vital for nitrogen fixation and nitrate reduction. Cobalt, though required in minute quantities, is important for nitrogen fixation in legumes.
The deficiency of these micronutrients can lead to stunted growth, poor yield, and decreased plant health. This is where products like AgriTec International‘s Foliar-Act come into play. Foliar-Act is designed for rapid absorption on the plant’s leaf surface, providing a multivitamin-like boost that supports overall plant health. Its nutrient blend not only enhances nutrient uptake but also strengthens the plant’s natural defense system, leading to larger root systems, stronger stalks, and higher yields.
Foliar-Act: A Comprehensive Nutritional Solution
Foliar-Act is a unique liquid foliar feed that delivers essential micronutrients directly to the plant’s foliage. Its nutrient analysis includes:
- Total Nitrogen (N): 1.0%
- Boron (B): 0.03%
- Chelated Cobalt (Co): 0.002%
- Soluble Manganese (Mn): 0.10%
- Molybdenum (Mo): 0.002%
- Soluble Zinc (Zn): 0.05%
These micronutrients, along with growth stimulants, enhance the plant’s health much like a multivitamin supports human health. By triggering natural biological processes, Foliar-Act creates a surge in beneficial microbial growth, increasing enzymatic and microbial activity. This activity releases insoluble nutrients in the soil, converting them into forms that plants can readily absorb. Consequently, Foliar-Act not only improves nutrient uptake and utilization but also boosts crop quality and yield.
Bio-Act: Enhancing Soil and Plant Vitality
Another innovative product from AgriTec International is Bio-Act, a nutritional plant supplement that serves as a soil treatment, seed start, or foliar feed. Bio-Act contains a blend of micronutrients and humic acid, providing valuable nutrition to both plants and soil. The product’s benefits include:
- Improving plant photosynthesis
- Promoting vigorous plant growth
- Increasing plant maturity and drought resistance
- Enhancing overall plant health and vitality
- Boosting microbial activity in the soil
Bio-Act‘s nutrient analysis includes:
- Total Nitrogen (N): 1.0%
- Soluble Potash (K2O): 1.0%
- Boron (B): 0.1%
- Cobalt (Co): 0.02%
- Manganese (Mn): 0.3%
- Molybdenum (Mo): 0.04%
- Zinc (Zn): 0.4%
By increasing photosynthesis and adding high carbon energy to the soil, Bio-Act boosts plant immune systems and overall growth. This dual action of enhancing both plant and soil health makes it an essential tool for farmers and gardeners looking to maximize their yields.
Alt-15: Balanced Nutrition
Alt-15 provides a balanced blend of primary nutrients and micronutrients, with a unique focus on slow-release nitrogen. This product is ideal for various stages of plant growth, helping to prepare for fruition and increase overall output. Alt-15 contains 15% slow-release nitrogen, along with 52 trace minerals and micronutrients, including iron, boron, manganese, and cobalt. These elements increase plant carbon energy, accelerate growth, and improve fruit production.
The benefits of Alt-15 include:
- Enhancing plant photosynthesis
- Promoting vigorous growth
- Increasing plant maturity and drought resistance
- Improving overall plant health and vitality
- Boosting microbial activity in the soil
Alt-15 is particularly beneficial in hay and pasture, where it increases ground coverage, resulting in thicker, fuller fields.
Sur-Tec: Making Tank Mixes Easier
- Acting as an enzyme crop protector
- Serving as a non-ionic surfactant and plant penetrator
- Reducing particle drift and improving kill rates
- Being biodegradable and environmentally friendly
Sur-Tec‘s unique formulation makes pesticide solutions rainfast within 30 minutes, ensuring maximum efficacy even under challenging weather conditions.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the health of your soil’s micronutrient profile is critical to the success of your crops. AgriTec International‘s range of products, including Foliar-Act, Bio-Act, Alt-15, and Sur-Tec, provide comprehensive solutions to ensure optimal plant and soil health. By addressing micronutrient deficiencies, enhancing microbial activity, and improving nutrient uptake, these products help farmers and gardeners achieve higher yields, better crop quality, and sustainable farming practices. Investing in the right micronutrient treatments is not just beneficial—it’s essential for the long-term vitality of your plants and soil.
