Active ZM™
Active ZM™ is a foliar-applied zinc, manganese, and sulfur fertiliser solution that can alleviate nutrient deficiencies in crops.
Description
Active ZM™ is a foliar-applied micronutrient blend containing 9% Zinc (Zn), 4% Manganese (Mn), and 5% Sulfur (S), designed to support critical plant functions. Zinc and manganese are essential for enzyme activation, photosynthesis, and hormone production, which collectively enhance root strength, leaf development, and disease resistance. Sulfur aids in protein synthesis, chlorophyll formation, and improved nutrient uptake, supporting healthier, more resilient plants.
When to Use
Active ZM™ should be applied as indicated by soil or tissue analysis, during periods of rapid growth, or when environmental conditions may limit micronutrient availability. Early foliar applications can correct deficiencies promptly, particularly under cool spring conditions when uptake from soil may be restricted. Manganese and zinc levels vary by crop needs, and excessive application can be harmful, especially for sensitive crops like cereals; testing is recommended to determine the exact requirements.
For the best results, use the complete line of recommended Active AgriScience™ products for your crop.
- Wheat, Corn: Active PRIME™, Active BUILD™, Active GrainFILL™, Micronutrients as needed.
- Canola, Tomatoes, Vegetables, Hops: Active PRIME™, Active BUILD™, Active FLOWER™, Micronutrients as needed.
- Soybean, Pulses: Active PLS™, Active BUILD™, Active FLOWER™, Micronutrients as needed.
- Tree Fruit, Tree Nuts, Berries: Active BUILD™, Active FLOWER™, Micronutrients as needed.
Benefits
This micronutrient formulation supports robust plant growth through enhanced enzyme function and nutrient absorption. Early zinc and manganese supplementation can be especially beneficial in overcoming stress conditions, such as cold or wet soils. While needed in small quantities, these micronutrients are essential for maximizing yield potential.
Active ZM Supports:
- Enzyme Activation: Enhances various enzymatic processes, promoting growth and energy production.
- Root and Leaf Development: Improves leaf size, root strength, and overall plant vigor.
- Photosynthesis and Disease Resistance: Strengthens plants’ natural defenses and optimizes chlorophyll production for efficient energy capture.
While Active AgriScience stands behind the quality of our products, Active AgriScience cannot guarantee the same, or similar, yield results due the effects of variables outside of our control (soil conditions, weather, pests, diseases, tank mix partners, application rates, and errors in mixing and application). We encourage all prospective customers to run trials of our products before broad acreage adoption.
