Micronutrients fertilizer

Updated 28/11 2005

Micronutrients fertilizer is a new fertilizer for palms and other plants.

Micronutrients fertilizer is is in the form of salts and metallic oxide which is only slightly soluble. The mode of action is through the low pH of peat gradually dissolving the oxide, making it available to the palms.

Copper is required as a catalyst for the formation of chlorophyll . Copper deficiency was identified as the cause of “mid crown chlorosis ”, which results in reduced vegetative growth and very small fruit bunch yields. Copper is adsorbed by the humic and fulvic acids present in organic matter .Therefore , Copper is the most widely deficient micronutrient in deep acid peat soils.

Zinc also acts as a catalyst for chlorophyll formation .Zinc deficiency is often related to a complex nutritional disorder called “peat yellow ” .

Boron acts as a booster for vegetative growth , especially for terminal growth such as formation of flowers ,roots, shoots and young fronds . Boron is relatively immobile and must be used in combination with other macronutrients . The supply of Boron in most peat soils is insufficient to meet the requirements of vigorously growing oil palms ,resulting in hooked leaves and in severe cases , crinkled leaves and shortened fronds .
