Epivio Zn Offers Growers Excellent Nutrition in Rice

Zinc deficiency in rice can cost growers up to 40 percent of their yields, due to reduced elongation, resetting and “little leaf,” a disorder that dwarfs leaves and often causes chlorosis, necrotic spots or bronzing. To help prevent this deficiency, Epivio^® Zn micronutrient seed treatment is now available for use in rice.

Epivio Zn is an EDTA seed-applied micronutrient that is compatible with a number of seed treatments, including CruiserMaxx^® Rice and CruiserMaxx^® Rice + Vibrance^®. Additionally, Epivio Zn features a shelf life of more than three years under correct storage conditions; improved ease of application with less gumming up of equipment, compared with other zinc products on the market; and ready absorption by rice plants.
