Descriptions
• Nitrogen is available in a readily available form of Nitrates. Hence it will be easily taken up.
• Potassium Thiosulfate (kts) enhances many enzyme actions aiding in photosynthesis and food formation. It builds cellulose and helps translocate sugars and starches. And it is vital to producing grains rich in starch. Potassium maintains turgor and reduces water loss and wilting. Ample K can increase root growth and improves drought tolerance. In many high-yielding crops, the K content in the plant is comparable to the nitrogen (N) content. Ample K can increase root growth and improves drought tolerance.
• Hidden in the heart of each chlorophyll molecule is an atom of Magnesium. Plays an integral role in everything from photosynthesis to phosphate metabolism to plant respiration and the activation of enzyme systems. Magnesium also aids in phosphate metabolism, plant respiration, and the activation of many enzyme systems. Magnesium acts as a phosphorus carrier in plants and is required for better root formation and thus for better nutrient and water efficiency in plants.
• Sulfur is a part of every living cell and is important to the formation of proteins, yet it is often present in insufficient quantities for the needs of high-yielding crops. Although S isn’t a constituent of chlorophyll, it’s still vital in chlorophyll formation. Sulfur appears in every living cell and is required for the synthesis of certain amino acids (cysteine and methionine) and proteins. Sulfur aids in seed production. Sulfur is also important in photosynthesis and for winter crop hardiness. Leguminous plants need S for efficient nitrogen fixation.
• Iron plays a crucial role in processes in plants that require electron transfer reactions, including photosynthesis and nitrogen assimilation.
• Iron is also a structural component of the metalloenzyme that is involved in nitrate uptake, nitrite, and nitrate reductase (Gao et al., ).
• Iron is a component of many enzymes associated with energy transfer, nitrogen reduction and fixation, and lignin formation.
• Iron is a catalyst for chlorophyll formation, Iron acts as an oxygen carrier in the nodules of legume roots.
• Although Zn is required in small amounts, high yields are impossible without it. Protein synthesis and growth regulation require Zn. Reduced hormone production due to a Zn-deficient plant will cause the shortening of internodes and stunted leaf growth. Zinc aids synthesis of plant-growth substances and enzyme systems, and is essential for promoting certain metabolic reactions, which are particularly critical in the early growth stages.
• Manganese (Mn) functions primarily as part of enzyme systems in plants. It activates several important metabolic reactions and plays a direct role in photosynthesis. Manganese accelerates germination and maturity while increasing the availability of phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca). Manganese plays a vital role in photosynthesis by aiding in chlorophyll synthesis. Soybeans and wheat in particular require more Mn than many crops.
