Recommended to correct zinc deficiencies. Use it based on a soil and tissue analysis. Common Rate: Use 5-10#/Acre of zinc, which is 14-28 pounds of this product per acre. The recommendation is based on broadcast application. Some people use less if banded, as plant roots can take up more of what is applied.
Zinc Sulfate Powder 35.5% (derived from zinc sulfate monohydrate) is primarily used in agriculture and horticulture as a high-potency micronutrient fertilizer to correct and prevent zinc deficiencies in soil and crops. When a product specifies exactly "35.5%", it almost always refers to this specific commercial, water-soluble, agricultural, or feed-grade formulation, which provides roughly 35.5% elemental zinc and 17% sulfur.
- Correcting Deficiencies: It delivers fast-acting zinc to sandy, organic, or high-pH soils where zinc availability is naturally limited.
- Plant Metabolism: Zinc is vital for enzyme activation, protein synthesis, and hormone production in plants, supporting strong leaf development and crop yields.
- Application Methods: It is applied either as a broadcast to the soil or dissolved in water to make a liquid foliar spray.
- Herbicide Alternative: In high concentrations, it acts as a highly effective moss killer. It works by binding to plant proteins, damaging the cells, and causing the moss to turn yellow and die.
- Animal Nutrition: It is frequently incorporated into animal feed recipes to satisfy the nutritional zinc requirements of livestock.
- Hoof Rot Management: In veterinary medicine, it is dissolved into liquid foot baths to treat and prevent hoof rot in sheep and cattle.
