NITROGEN

Nitrogen is vital for all plant growth. It is important for all living cells and is required in large amounts for growth and development.

Nitrogen deficiency is most readily seen by reduced chlorophyll production which shows via yellowing of the plants leaves. When chlorophyll levels are low photosynthesis cannot happen at optimal rates hence sugar production used for growth and development in the plant is greatly reduced.

Potassium

Potassium is involved in photosynthesis, enzyme activation, protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, ionic balance of cells and fruit initiation and filling.
Potassium regulates the flow of water through the plant and importantly controls the plants turgidity. Stomata, which are the cells that control the opening and closing of leaf openings, are directly influenced by potassium supply.

Potassium has a direct effect on the plants ability to resist pests and diseases and withstand the effects of low soil water supply.

Magnesium

Magnesium and nitrogen are the only soil absorbed plant nutrients that are components of chlorophyll. When magnesium is in short supply plant growth will be reduced and potentially yield will be limited.

Many soils contain sufficient magnesium however high yielding horticultural crops often have additional magnesium supplied to meet plant demands.

High potassium inputs can often create a magnesium imbalance in the plant. Where high levels of potassium are being applied it is also beneficial to apply magnesium.

Magnesium Oxide

Mg: 52.0%

With a magnesium content of 52%, it is used in blend to supply magnesium to crops. Oxide form allows slow release of the magnesium over time.

 

Hi Mag (Magnesium Sulphate)

Mg:  15%  S: 20%

With a magnesium content of 15%, it is used in blends to supply magnesium to crops. The sulphate form releases the magnesium over a four to six week period to the soil. Ideal where crops have an immediate magnesium requirement.

Sulphur

Sulphur is a constituent of three of the 21 amino acids which form proteins, and thus it plays an important role in both plant and animal nutrition.

Deficiency is commonly seen as yellowing of plants due to its role along with nitrogen in protein synthesis.

 Bentonite Sulphur

S: 90%

This sulphur fertiliser is 90% elemental sulphur plus a carrying or swelling agent, usually bentonite clay. Bentonite is a dispersible elemental sulphur fertiliser. The granules disperse on wetting after application, to release fine sulphur particles.

Plants can only take up nutrients in an inorganic (chemical) form. Elemental sulphur, being in the organic chemical form, is not immediately available for plant uptake. It must first be oxidised to the sulphate (SO42-) form, through a process called mineralization which involves soil bacteria (Thiobacillus). For this process to occur effectively the soil needs to be:

  • Warm
  • Moist
  • Contain correct bacteria (Thiobacillus)
  • In preferred pH range (low)
  • Aerated

Elemental sulphur may be suitable for long term use or as a maintenance product. As elemental sulphur can reduce pH at high rates of application, it may be useful lowering pH for crops like Blueberries, where a pH (w) <5.5 is desirable.

Calcium

Calcium is involved in many metabolic roles within the plant. Some of these include root/shoot development, cell wall strength, enzyme activation and neutralising organic acids in the plant.

Calcium application to the soil has other indirect effects to plant growth through reducing soil acidity via calcium carbonate (lime). This has the effect of making many plant nutrients more available and making toxic elements such as Aluminium less soluble in the soil.

Calcium should be applied well before planting at high rates with the usual forms being:

  • Lime (Calcium Carbonate)
  • Dolomite (Calcium & Magnesium Carbonate)
  • Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate)

Magnesium and nitrogen are the only soil absorbed plant nutrients that are components of chlorophyll. When magnesium is in short supply plant growth will be reduced and potentially yield will be limited.

Many soils contain sufficient magnesium however high yielding horticultural crops often have additional magnesium supplied to meet plant demands.

High potassium inputs can often create a magnesium imbalance in the plant. Where high levels of potassium are being applied it is also beneficial to apply magnesium.

Mg: 52.0%

With a magnesium content of 52%, it is used in blend to supply magnesium to crops. Oxide form allows slow release of the magnesium over time.

 

Hi Mag (Magnesium Sulphate)

Mg:  15%  S: 20%

With a magnesium content of 15%, it is used in blends to supply magnesium to crops. The sulphate form releases the magnesium over a four to six week period to the soil. Ideal where crops have an immediate magnesium requirement.

 

Zinc (Zn)

Zinc is involved in the synthesis of plant growth substances, enzyme systems, and is essential for promoting certain metabolic reactions. It is necessary for the production of chlorophyll and carbohydrates. Zinc is non mobile in the plant and hence deficiency is first seen in the young leaves.

As zinc is virtually immobile in the soil hence the crops requirements are best applied prior to or at planting. The plant roots need to physically intercept zinc in the soil to allow uptake.

Zinc is often required at low rates compared to other nutrient needs. Zinc sulphate “dry” blends (where the zinc sulphate is blended with other fertilisers) used at low rates per hectare often provide very poor distribution of zinc in the soil and hence uptake by the plant can be poor. Zinc included products such as ZincStar 10 provide far more zinc contact points in the soil for the plants root system and hence provide greater zinc uptake potential.

Zinc applied to the soil as a granular fertiliser at the correct rate, is by far a more economic way to ensure the plant has zinc through its lifecycle then foliar applications.

 

Zinc Sulphate

Zn: 35.0%  S: 17%

A granulated zinc sulphate fertiliser which is used to blend with other N-P-K-S fertilisers. Care needs to be taken when low fertiliser application rates are used as zinc distribution may be poor in the soil.

Copper (Cu)

Copper is necessary for chlorophyll formation in plants and is a catalyst for a number of key reactions within the plant for normal growth. Plants with copper deficiency are often weaker in the cell walls, lower in proteins, fail to flower and may be more prone to fungal attack.

Copper like zinc is usually applied to the soil prior to or at planting to ensure the emerging plant roots are able to access available copper for uptake.

 Copper Sulphate

Cu: 25.0%   S: 3.5%

Copper is present in quick release sulphate form and slow release oxide form. This granulated copper fertiliser can be blended with N-P-K-S fertilisers.

Manganese (Mn)

Manganese functions primarily as a part of enzyme systems in the plant. It has a direct role in several important metabolic processes including chlorophyll production. It has an important role in seed germination and accelerates plant maturity. Phosphorus and calcium availability are increased via adequate manganese nutrition.

Manganese is immobile in the plant like zinc and iron and hence deficiency is first seen in the younger leaves.

Soils with high organic matter content and or pH levels greater than 7.0 often required addition manganese inputs. Conversely waterlogged and low pH soils often show manganese toxicity.

 

Manganese Sulphate

Mn: 31.5.0%   S: 18.5%

Manganese granules are used in blends with N-P-K-S fertilisers to correct manganese deficiencies predominately in soils with pH levels above 7.0.

 

Boron (B)

Boron is involved in cell division and development and deficiencies are often seen as stunting and deformation of growing points in plants. Pollen development and viability is also closely linked to adequate boron nutrition.

Great care must be taken with Boron applications as the band between deficiency and toxicity can be narrow, hence seek qualified advice on boron use and rates of application. While soil analysis can give an indication of boron status of the soil dried leaf analysis of the crop provides more accurate data for decision making.

 

Granubor

B: 15.0%

Boron granules are used in blends to correct and prevent boron deficiencies. Advice should be sought on rates of application as toxicities can easily occur with over application.

 

Iron (Fe)

Iron is a catalyst in the formation of chlorophyll and acts as an oxygen carrier. Iron is involved in certain plant respiratory functions.

Iron is immobile in the plant and hence deficiency symptoms appear in the youngest leaves. Iron deficiency is highly noticeable as young leaves are yellow to bleached white in appearance.

Iron nutrition is highly related to other plant nutrient availability such as molybdenum, phosphorous, copper and manganese. Soil conditions which are wet and cold may also induce Iron deficiencies. Soil pH is strongly related to Iron availability with high pH levels making Iron unavailable.

 

Ferrous Sulphate

Fe: 25.0%   S: 11%

Iron granules are used in blends to correct Iron deficiencies which predominately occur in high pH soils.

 

Molybdenum (Mo)

Molybdenum is vital in nitrate metabolism in a wide range of crops particularly in pastures, cucurbits, legumes and brassicas. Molybdenum is vital for Rhizobia bacteria to fix soil atmospheric nitrogen into nitrate in legume root nodules.

 

Sodium Molybdenate  (liquid)

Mo: 13 %

Molybdenum Solution is sprayed onto Single Super Phosphate (SSP) to supply molybdenum to pastures. Spray application allows for even coverage.

 

Sodium Molybdenate (powder)

Mo: 39.3%

A powdered molybdenate fertiliser which can be blended with P-K-S fertilisers for correcting and preventing deficiency in pastures, cucurbits, legumes and brassicas
