PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Micro: Carbonutrient
from Rx Green Solutions
Micro: Carbonutrient contains essential
micronutrients, including copper, zinc, manganese and iron, combined with activated
carbohydrate technology to protect minerals.
The technology uses a barley-based polysaccharide compound as a complexing agent
to protect the micronutrients and improve
bioavailability. These encapsulated micronutrients enhance the proliferation of beneficial
bacteria, which mimics the root excretions by
the plant. Copper is important to photosynthesis and is essential for enzyme function
and cell wall formation. Zinc is involved in
protein and hormone synthesis, as well as
carbohydrate metabolism. Manganese is
important in the photosynthetic reaction of
converting water to oxygen. Iron is a major
component in many enzyme functions, plant
metabolism and photosynthetic reactions.
Micro: Carbonutrient protects nutrients until they are used
by the plant. It also supplies foliar and soil absorption of minor nutrients,
provides energy for microbial stimulation and aids with nutrient retention.
