Planters II Trace Minerals, 40lb

Many soils lack the secondary and trace minerals that plants and trees need for healthy growth, fruit and crop production.  Trace elements or micro-nutreints are just as vital to the plants as macro-nutrients. A deficiency of trace minerals can cripple plant growth, lessen nutritional value and potentially limit a soil's productive capacity.

Planters II Trace Mineral is a nutrient dense trace mineral that supports the growth of healthy plants and trees.  It is a complex of naturally occurring minerals and contains essential elements needed for plant growth.

Calcium: promotes early root formation and influences the intake of other nutrients; aids genetic stability and improves disease resistance

Magnesium: essential for the formation of chlorophyll; activates enzymes, increases oil production in certain crops

Sulfur: utilized in the devlopment of proteins and vitamins; aids in lowering the pH of some alkaline soils

Boron: enables plants to absorb and use calcium, essential in N fixation by legumes; helps in flower formation, pollination and nutrient movement within the cell

Cobalt: activates enzymes necessary for N fixing bacteria; helps form Vitamin B12, improves growth, watr movement and photosynthesis

Iron: acts as a catalyst in the production of chorophyll, necessary for N fixation by legumes

Molybdenum: needed for nitrogen fixation and nitrogen use within the plant; necessary for amini acid formation; enhances plant vigor

This product is an essential component for good soil preparation and helps feed the beneficial microbes that break down organic matter into humus. Use it on all types of ornamental and edible plants.
