Micro Nutrients
These nutrients are essential for different aspects of plant health and are deficient in most Australian soils. Only very small amounts can make a dramatic improvement to your plants.
Boron (B) Necessary only in small amounts but assists other nutrients to function eg. it helps in the production of plant sugars and is vital for the development of fruit and seed.
Copper (Cu) Helps the plant utilize the proteins that it has manufactured and plays an important role in plant reproduction.
Chloride (Cl) Helps the plant metabolism.
Iron (Fe) Vital for the plant as it is necessary for the formation of chlorophyll. ( Chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis which produces the plants energy.)
Manganese (Mn) Helps with the breakdown of carbohydrates and is necessary to metabolise nitrogen.
Molybdenum (Mo) Important because it helps the plant use the available nitrogen.
Zinc (Zn) Regulates the plant sugar consumption and is essential in the transformation of carbohydrates. Zinc also is part of the system that regulates growth.
