Nulex® Ammoniated Zinc
Nulex® ammoniated zinc products are designed to mix with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) solutions and are compatible with UAN and ammonium thiosulfate. Nulex comes in 10%, 15%, and 20% varieties.
When applied with a liquid starter in a concentrated band underneath the soil surface at planting, Nulex can be ten times more effective than dry broadcast zinc. The application of zinc with phosphate fertilizer optimizes the uptake of P and Zn in plants which enhances fertilizer efficiency and plant utilization when applied at the correct rates.
