Reg. No. B5564 Act. No. 36 of 1947

Key Function of Elements

Mn is a cofactor for 35 enzymes involved in photosynthesis. It further plays a role in stress tolerance and N-metabolism.
Zn is involved in enzyme systems that regulate early growth of crops. It has a key function in the formation of growth hormones.
Cu activates key enzymes and is necessary for pollen formation that affects grain, seed and fruit formation.
B is essential for cell wall formation. Moreover, it is required for optimum pollination, fruit and seed development.
