Biota Zinc
Biota Zinc is a concentrated zinc fertiliser complexed with lignosulphonic acid and part of our liquid organic single fertiliser line. Due to the unique production process, the nutrients are 100% present in solution and can therefore be taken up directly by the plant. The product is allowed for use in organic agri- and horticulture.
Biota Zinc is especially important for emerging crops. It provides a healthy stimulation of root growth (auxins). In soils with a high pH and a high lime content, there is often not enough zinc available. Zinc uptake is also disrupted in an acidic soil with an above-average amount of organic matter. Zinc ensures that the resistance to, among other things, scabies is increased.
Apply to perennial crops after harvest, but before leaf discoloration. Apply to annual plants during the vegetative phase.

Biota Zinc can be used on all crops through foliar application and irrigation. When used as primary fertiliser, the application is equal to mineral fertilisers. It is advised to always have an expert make a fertilisation plan and to start with a test application. The exact dosage depends on the soil conditions and the crop. No guarantees can be given in the event of incorrect use. Always carry out a test mixing and test application when combining with other products!
