RAJA(Vegetable)-Grade 1 Multi-Micronutrient Mixture Fertilizer About
Grade 1 Micronutrient Mixture containing
Iron (Fe-6.6%), Manganese (Mn-4.3%), Zinc (Zn-3.6%), Copper (Cu-0.8%), and Boron (B-0.7%) is a specialized agricultural fertilizer formulation. It is primarily applied to the soil to correct multi-micronutrient deficiencies and optimize crop productivity. [

Key Benefits of Each Element
- Iron (Fe - 6.6%): Enhances chlorophyll formation, drives photosynthesis, and prevents the yellowing of young leaves (iron chlorosis).
- Manganese (Mn - 4.3%): Directs enzyme activation, nitrogen metabolism, and the breakdown of water during photosynthesis.
- Zinc (Zn - 3.6%): Promotes plant hormone balance (auxins), regulates node elongation, and aids in grain filling and protein synthesis.
- Copper (Cu - 0.8%): Strengthens cell walls, supports reproductive growth, and aids in plant respiration.
- Boron (B - 0.7%): Facilitates sugar translocation, cell wall development, pollen germination, and fruit/seed setting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Application and Dosage in Agriculture
This specific grade is formulated for
soil application, ensuring a steady, long-term supply of microelements directly to the roots. [

- Standard Dosage: Use 10 to 15 kg per acre (or roughly 2025 kg per hectare), varying slightly based on the specific crop and native soil test results. [1, 2]
- How to Apply:
- Basal Application: Broadcast and incorporate into the soil during final land preparation or sowing.
- Enriched Manure Mix: For the best absorption, mix the formulation with 100200 kg of well-decomposed Farm Yard Manure (FYM) or compost, leave it for a few days, and then apply it to the field. [1, 2, 3]
- Target Crops: Highly beneficial for cash crops (sugarcane, cotton), cereals (paddy, maize), pulses, oilseeds, and vegetables (potato, tomato, chilli). [1, 2, 3]
- Do Not Mix with Phosphates: Avoid mixing this micronutrient powder directly with high-phosphorus fertilizers (like DAP or SSP) in the same slurry, as phosphorus can bind with zinc and iron, rendering them unavailable to the plant. [1, 2]
- Soil pH: Micronutrient availability drops significantly in high pH (alkaline or calcareous) soils. If your soil has a pH above 7.5, combining soil application with subsequent foliar sprays may yield better results. [1, 2]
