Over a period of years, we have been cultivating different crops in the field which has resulted in the depletion of essential micro-nutrients in the soil. This has in turn affected the productivity of the soil. This fact has also been validated in the soil analysis reports drawn over a period of time indicating that the micronutrients in the soils are on the decline, resulting in lowering the quality and yields of the crops.
CF’s R&D ( Agri-Division) has come out with a unique liquid micronutrient fertilizer suitable for variety of crops. This product helps to retain and achieve the quality of the produce and also ensures bumper yields.The composition of Microla varies in different states due to the requirement of various micronutrients in the particular soil of the state.Contents of Microla and its functions:
Sr.No. Micronutrients Major Functions 1 Zn Produces hormones in the crops & enhances flowering. 2 Fe Increases chlorophyll contents & plant food production. 3 Cu Increases chlorophyll contents & improves the health of the crops. 4 Bo Stops flower & fruit drop & increases yield. 5 Mo Nitrogen stabilization and increases proteins. 6 Mn Increases chlorophyll & stimulates bio-chemical activities in the plant. The composition of all the six micronutrients mentioned above differs from state to state depending upon the soil type, cropping pattern, agro-climatic zones.
