Zinc Sulphate Hepta Hydrate (Agriculture Grade)

What is Zinc Sulphate Hepta Hydrate?

Zinc Sulphate Hepta Hydrate is one of the most widely used and trusted micronutrient fertilizers in farming. Packed with 21% Zinc and 10% Sulphur, it is the ultimate remedy for fixing zinc deficiency in the soil. If your crops are suffering from small, clustered leaves, short stems, or delayed growth, this product acts like a growth spark plug to get them back on track.

The Tech Specs (Standard Data)

Here is the standard breakdown of our agriculture-grade material:

• Look and Feel: Free-Flowing, Snow-White Crystals

• Zinc Content (as Zn): 21.0% minimum

• Sulphur Content (as S): 10.0% minimum

• Matter Insolubles in Water: 1.0% maximum

• pH (5% Solution): Slightly acidic (usually between 4.0 to 6.0)

Why Farmers Love It (The Main Advantages)

• The Growth Hormone Booster: Zinc is absolutely vital for the plant to produce Auxins (natural growth hormones). It regulates stem elongation, node expansion, and overall plant height.

• Supercharges Leaf Size & Yield: It fixes "Little Leaf Disease" or "Rosette Disease," where leaves stay tiny and bunched up. Applying this expands leaf surface area, which means more photosynthesis and bigger yields.

• Bonus Sulphur Boost: It delivers 10% highly available Sulphur, which helps plants build essential proteins, improves crop quality, and gives a healthy green color.

• Excellent Water Solubility: It dissolves smoothly in water, making it incredibly fast-acting for spray applications, drip systems, or basal dressing.

Where and How to Use It

• Best Crops: High-demand crops like Paddy (Rice), Wheat, Maize (Corn), Sugarcane, Cotton, Citrus Fruits, and Vegetables (Potato, Onion, Tomato). It is especially critical for Paddy to prevent the infamous "Khaira" disease.

• How to Apply: Most commonly used as a basal dose during soil preparation, or dissolved in water for quick-acting foliar sprays and drip systems.

General Dosage Guide (The Rough Estimates)

For a Foliar Spray (Quick Deficiency Fix)

• The Mix: Mix 3 to 5 grams of Zinc Sulphate Hepta Hydrate per 1 litre of clean water (a 0.3% to 0.5% solution).

• Important Tip: Zinc can be harsh on young leaves. For a completely safe foliar spray, always mix it with half the quantity of lime (e.g., 5g Zinc + 2.5g Lime) or a small amount of Urea to prevent leaf scorch.

For Soil Application & Drip (Per Acre)

• Soil Broadcasting (Basal Dose): About 10 kg to 25 kg per acre, applied during land preparation or sowing. For the best results, mix it evenly with sand or well-rotted farmyard manure (FYM).

• Drip Irrigation (Fertigation): 2 to 4 kg per acre per round, given during the early vegetative and active growth stages.

A Quick, Friendly Heads-Up (The Important Stuff!)

Every Field is Different!

Please keep in mind that these dosages are just standard, broad guidelines. Farming isn't one-size-fits-all! The exact amount your crops need can vary wildly from soil to soil, region to region, and customer to customer depending on your local climate, water quality, and soil pH (high pH, alkaline, or heavily waterlogged soils lock up zinc very quickly).

• Test, Don't Guess: Zinc is a powerful micronutrient, and balance is key. Over-applying it can sometimes block the plant from absorbing other nutrients like Phosphorus. We always highly recommend a local soil test or consulting with a certified agronomist before starting a large-scale program.

• Storage and Mixing Tips: Keep your bags tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture, as these crystals love to absorb dampness from the air. Never mix Zinc Sulphate directly with Phosphatic fertilizers (like DAP or SSP) in the same tank, or they will react and form an insoluble sludge that blocks your drip lines!

• Our Liability: Because we cannot control weather patterns, individual soil chemistry, or how a customer stores, blends, and applies the product on-field, we provide this high-purity agricultural material but cannot guarantee final crop yields or performance. Final results are in nature's hands
