If new leaves are smaller than normal, shoots are shortening up, or you're seeing patchy yellowing between the veins on young growth, that's usually a multi-micronutrient shortage rather than any single deficiency, manganese, zinc, copper, and boron all play distinct roles in enzyme activity and flowering, and a shortage in more than one shows up as this same general stunted, chlorotic look.

EDTA keeps all four metals soluble and available to the plant rather than locking up in the soil or tank mix, so the blend goes on and gets absorbed as one coordinated application instead of needing separate corrections.

Recommended rate: 1–2 litres per hectare foliar; 2–4 litres per hectare soil drench or fertigation

Best used as a season-long micronutrient program rather than a one-off rescue treatment, apply through vegetative growth and again around flowering, since demand for these micronutrients rises at both stages. Expect visible greening and improved shoot growth within one to two weeks of a foliar application if a genuine deficiency was present.

This is a mineral micronutrient fertilizer, not a crop-protection chemical, so normal good hygiene during mixing, gloves, avoid ingestion, wash hands afterward, is enough. Store in a dry place away from children, food, and livestock.

Registered for use on labelled crops across East African markets, under the relevant national regulatory authority. Always read and follow the approved product label before use.
