Throughout history, civilisations have prospered or declined as a function of the availability and productivity of their soils.
Micro-nutrients are required in very small amounts but are essential to plant health in that most are required parts of some enzyme system which speeds up plants’ metabolisms.
The micro-nutrients essential for plant life in their order of importance include:
- Iron
- Copper
- Magnesium
- Manganese
- Zinc
- Boron
- Chlorine
- Nickel
- Sulphur
- Silicon
- Carbon
- Molybdenum
In WA deficiencies of zinc, copper, manganese, iron, sulphur, cobalt, nickel, chlorine, boron, magnesium, carbon and molybdenum were identified as limiting the growth of broad-acre crops and pastures.
The Mineral Fertiliser Company’s Supermin® formulation contains naturally occurring Trace Elements that are chemically and physically designed for better availability to plants.
The particle size of the Supermin® products are optimum for plant uptake, and the unique formulation helps trace elements avoid soil tie-up and remain plant available.
The Mineral Fertiliser Company can supply these minerals with a guarantee of no heavy metals and this unique mineral combination is only available from the Elverdton Copper-Gold Mine based in Ravensthorpe, Western Australia.
