While farmers focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, micronutrient deficiencies silently reduce crop yields by 20-40% across Pakistan. Zinc deficiency alone affects over 70% of agricultural soils in the country.
Common micronutrient deficiencies in Pakistani soils:
- Zinc: Widespread in rice-wheat systems
- Boron: Common in cotton and vegetable areas
- Iron: Prevalent in calcareous soils
- Manganese: Found in alkaline conditions
Symptoms are often mistaken for other problems like disease or water stress. Soil and tissue analysis are the most reliable diagnostic tools.
Sultani Enterprises stocks a complete range of micronutrient fertilizers including zinc sulphate, borax, iron sulphate, and chelated formulations for both soil and foliar application.
