Earthwork Stuff Mikronite
Earthwork Stuff Mikronite is the strongest trace package in the Foliars+ product line. Trace nutrients are essential elements in the construction of amino acids, peptides and proteins within the plant. Trace elements are typically very immobile in most turf environments. Mikronite, with its carbon base, not only provides a host of needed trace elements but the carbon allows for increased microbial activity helping to improve nutrient uptake. Trace elements act as the “spark plugs” that fire the engine of enzyme production needed for photosynthesis, protein production and synthesis and translocation of carbohydrates. Trace elements are important in the creation of plant protective compounds known as “phytoalexins”, an antimicrobial family of secondary plant metabolites necessary for immunity against insect and diseases. Mikronite focuses on boron, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, and molybdenum and de-emphasizes iron because of the excessive amounts of iron found in most turf soils.
