About Multiplex Zinc Param
Multiplex Zinc Param, from Karnataka Agro Chemicals under the Multiplex brand, is a single nutrient micronutrient fertilizer containing 33% Zinc in the form of Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate, suitable for use on all crops. Zinc is the most important nutrient required by plants next to NPK, and its deficiency is widespread across Indian soils, occurring in both neutral and calcareous soils with higher pH. This chelated micronutrient fertilizer for crop nutrition can correct zinc deficiency through both soil and foliar application, and since a lesser quantity of Multiplex Zinc Param is required to correct the deficiency, it works out cheaper compared to other sources of zinc.
