High-Concentration Zinc for Agriculture, Feedstock & Industrial Applications

⚠️ NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION OR MEDICAL USE. This product is intended strictly for agricultural, livestock feedstock, and industrial applications only.

⚠️ Feedstock formulations must be prepared by qualified nutritionists or livestock specialists. Zinc is a trace mineral, and incorrect dosage levels may be harmful or potentially dangerous to animals, particularly in concentrated feed applications.

🌱 Agricultural Use Guide & Typical Application Rates

Because Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate is a highly concentrated zinc source (~35.5% Zn), only small amounts are generally required for effective correction and maintenance.

Below are general-use examples commonly used in horticulture and agriculture.

⚠️ Application rates vary depending on crop type, soil conditions, deficiency severity, pH, and local agronomic recommendations.

🪴 Potted Plants & Indoor Plants

General Maintenance

• 0.5–1 gram per litre of water
• Apply every 4–8 weeks during active growth

Zinc Deficiency Correction

• Up to 2 grams per litre
• Apply once, then reassess plant response after 2–3 weeks

⚠️ Avoid over-application in pots, as excess zinc can build up quickly in confined growing media.

🌿 Vegetable Gardens & Raised Beds

Soil Application

• 5-15 grams per square metre
• Apply before planting or during soil preparation

Foliar Spray

• 1–2 grams per litre
• Spray every 2–4 weeks if deficiency symptoms appear

Suitable for:
✔ Tomatoes
✔ Cucumbers
✔ Capsicums
✔ Leafy greens
✔ Beans and legumes

🌳 Fruit Trees & Citrus

Young Trees

• 25–50 grams per tree (depending on the tree)
• Apply around the drip line 1–2 times annually

Mature Trees

• 100–250 grams per tree (depending on the tree)
• Typically applied once annually or according to soil test recommendations

Foliar Correction

🌱 Lawns & Turf

Granular Soil Application

• 10-15 grams per square metre
• Apply every 3–6 months if deficiency is present

Foliar Application

• 1–2 grams per litre
• Light spray coverage during growing season

🚜 Broadacre Farming & Large-Scale Agriculture

Typical Soil Application Rates

• Based on soil analysis and crop requirements

Foliar Programs

• 0.5–2 kg per hectare
• Applied during key growth stages

Suitable for:
✔ Wheat
✔ Barley
✔ Corn
✔ Canola
✔ Cotton
✔ Pasture systems

💧 Fertigation Systems

General Fertigation Range

• 0.5–2 kg per hectare per application
• Adjust according to irrigation volume and crop demand

Always ensure:
✔ Proper dilution
✔ System compatibility
✔ Even distribution

⚠️ Important Agricultural Notes

✔ Zinc availability is strongly affected by soil pH
✔ High-phosphorus soils may reduce zinc uptake
✔ Sandy and alkaline soils commonly require supplementation
✔ Excess zinc may cause nutrient imbalance or plant toxicity

For best results:

• Conduct soil or tissue analysis
• Use DTPA soil testing where appropriate
• Follow local agronomic guidance

🧪 Why Zinc Matters in Plant Growth

Zinc is essential for:
✔ Enzyme activity
✔ Root development
✔ Chlorophyll formation
✔ Growth hormone production
✔ Flowering and fruit set
✔ Overall plant vigour

Common Signs of Zinc Deficiency

• Stunted growth
• Small leaves
• Interveinal yellowing
• Poor root development
• Reduced flowering and yield

🐄 Livestock & Feedstock Applications

Zinc is an essential trace mineral in animal nutrition and plays an important role in (but make sure to get advice from a specialist, as a small amount of extra dose can be harmful to animals):
✔ Immune function
✔ Hoof and skin integrity
✔ Growth performance
✔ Reproduction
✔ Metabolic and enzyme activity

Suitable for:

• Cattle
• Sheep
• Swine
• Poultry
• Aquaculture

⚠️ IMPORTANT FEED SAFETY NOTICE

⚠️ This product is highly concentrated and for stock feeds must only be used in professionally formulated feed programs.

⚠️ Very small quantities can represent high zinc dosages for certain animal species. Incorrect inclusion rates may cause toxicity, health complications, or serious harm to livestock.

Always consult a qualified:

• Livestock nutritionist
• Feed compounder
• Veterinarian
• Agricultural specialist

before inclusion in feed formulations.
