In foliar application, NZN has proved about four times more effective than other zincs. Including the more expensive chelated zincs. In addition, NZN supplies nitrogen. So besides getting more zinc into plant tissues faster than ever before, you’re getting nitrogen in as well. And what doesn’t get into the leaves, is absorbed through the soil into the rr So forgetting maximum results every pound of nutrient applied, NZI by far the most efficient zinc you cai buy. Test NZN against any other zinc.
