Zn (Zinc) in SONAR Gluco Zn is chelated by gluconic acid in a ferric ammonium salt, assimilable and usable form by the plant, both foliar and root application. This provides to the product a high solubility.
What is Zn important for?
SONAR Gluco Zn is a key contituent of many enzymes and proteins. It plays an important role in a wide range of processes, such as growth hormone production and internode elongation. Zinc deficiency is probably the most commons micronutrient deficiency in crops worldwide, resulting in substantial losses in crop yields and human nutritional health problems. Deficiency in Zinc might result in significant reduction in crop yields and quality. In fact, yield can even be reduced by over 20% before any visual symptoms of deficiency occur.
Symptoms of Zinc deficiency include one or some of the following :
- Stunting
- Reduced height
- Interveinal chlorosis
- Brown spots on upper leaves
- Distorted leaves
- Causes of Zinc Deficiency in Crops
- Low total Zinc content in soil (e.g. sandy soils)
- Low manure application
- High Soil pH (e.g. calcareous soils, heavily limed soils)
- Zinc inefficient crop varieties
- High soil organic matier content (e.g. histosols)
- Waterlogging - flooding of soil (e.g. rice paddy)
- High salt concentrations (salinity)
- High Phosphate applications

Crop Recommendation Time In all crops 1-3 L/Ha (with foliar fertilizer in at least 200L of water. Upon application with backpack sprayer 0.25 - 0.5%) When required Cereals 2L /Ha (recommendation for winter cereals) In autumn from the 3 - leaf stage
Cereals 2L /Ha (recommendation for winter cereals) In spring from the start of vegetation
Cereals 2 times, 2L /Ha (recommendation for summer cereals) From 3 leaf stage
Legumes (soy included) 1-2 times, 2L/Ha From 6 leaf stage
Maize 2 -3 L /Ha From 4 leaf stage
Hops 3 - 5 times, 2-3 L/Ha 0.5 m growth height to beginning of flowering
Apples and Pears 3L 2 applications, one early season and again after harvest in
a minimum of 500L. Apply in 500 to 2000L water per ha.Beans, groundnuts, peas, soybeans 2L One to two applications early in 200L water per hectare
Brassicae ( cabbage, etc. ) 2L Apply at the first signs of a deficiency and repeat 3 to 4
weeks later if necessary. Apply in 500L water per
hectare.Citrus 3L Apply as a full cover spray in spring to all new growth.
Two to three applications. Do not spray directly before
or during harvest. Apply in 2000L water per hectareCotton 2L Do first application early in the season and repeat the application if required. Apply in 500L water per hectare
Cucurbit (Pumkins, etc) 2L Apply at the first signs of a deficiency and repeat 3 to 4
weeks later. Apply in 500L water per hectare.Lettuce 2L One to two application early in the growing season.
Apply in 500L water per hectare.Solanaceae ( peppers, etc.) 2L Apply at the first signs of a deficiency and repeat 3 to 4
weeks later if necessary. Apply in 500L water per hectareSolanaceae ( peppers, etc.) 2L Apply very early in the season and then again after
harvest. Apply in 500L water per hectare.

Safety & Health
- Caution
Sonar Gluco Zn is compatible with most agricultural remedies. It is however advisable to do a miscibility test prior to mixing with other chemicals. Do not mix Sonar Gluco Zn with highly alkaline material such as LIME SULFUR and BORDEAUX mixture, or with any phosphate-containing fertilizers.
