FAQs
Q1: What’s the difference between SA, Gold, and Max?
- SA is for soil application, offering steady-release micronutrients.
- Gold is a liquid chelated foliar spray for quick uptake.
- Max is a powder foliar spray, highly soluble and concentrated.
Q2: How often should I apply foliar products?
- Foliar sprays (Gold, Max) are typically applied every 15 days during critical growth stages.
Q3: Can I use Agromin across all crops?
Yes, all variants support a wide range of crops—from vegetables and fruits to field, horticultural, oilseed, and plantation crops.
Q4: Are these safe for organic farming?
Agromin SA and similar micronutrient products are mineral-based. For organic systems, check for certification or opt for specifically organic-certified products.
Q5: Why use chelated micronutrients?
Chelated forms (like Zn-EDTA) enhance plant uptake and reduce fixation in soil or wash-off, ensuring higher efficiency.
