THEOZINC

BASIC PROPERTIES: The Liquid Fertilizer THEOZINC supplies the plants with Zinc through foliar application or irrigation.

The element forms easily a tetrahedral complex and zinc is in this way the metal component of a number of enzymes. The plant obtains a number of zinc containing enzymes, including alcohol dehydrogenase in the meristem zone of the plant. In Super Oxide Dismutase, Zn is complexed with Cu by means of a nitrogen atom from histidine. Zinc is very important for protein synthesis in the chloroplast and cytoplasm.

Deficiency of zinc results in a considerable reduction of protein synthesis, IAA synthesis, activity of RNA polymerase, disintegration of ribosomes and accumulation of protein precursors, like amino acids and amides.
