Initial Grown Stage
- A compound fertilizer with 8 essential micro nutrients assuring equal distribution of nutrients required for the initial growth stage.
- At this stage NPK equally plays a major role in stem and leaf growth, seed germination, root development, stress resistance and improvement of stem rigidity.
- It acts as a structural component of cell walls and improves root hairs (feeder roots).
- The correct combination aids in chlorophyll production, cell wall formation, Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogen assimilation and Nitrogen metabolism.

Role of Secondary & Micro Nutrients :
- Calcium is responsible for proper Cell Wall formation in plants.
- Magnesium is the powerhouse behind photosynthesis in plants. Without Magnesium,
- Chlorophyll cannot capture sun energy needed for photosynthesis.
- Sulphur is a constituent of three S-containing amino acids (Cysteine, Cysteine and Methionine), which are the building blocks of protein. About 90% of plant S is present in these amino acids.
- Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of it plays critical role in metabolic processes such as DNA synthesis, respiration, and photosynthesis.
- Zinc is a key constituent of many enzymes and proteins, carbohydrates, conversion ofstarches to sugars and its presence in plant tissue helps the plant to withstand cold temperatures.
- Boron plays a key role maintenance of structural and functional integrity of biological membranes and pollination & seed set.
- Manganese plays a key role in photosynthesis, as the photosystem II-water oxidizing system has an absolute
Mn requirement. - Molybdenum is an essential component in two enzymes that convert Nitrate into Nitrite (a toxic form of nitrogen)
& then into ammonia before it is used to synthesize amino acids within the plant. - Copper activates some enzymes in plants, which are involved in lignin synthesis, and it is essential in several enzyme systems.
