The media will continue to create sensational stories, legitimate or otherwise, that will generate questions among your customers and you need to know the facts about the products you sell. As the manufacturer of Nulex Liquid Zinc, we are concerned about this controversy, and want to provide you with the facts necessary to assure your customers that Nulex is an environmentally friendly product. Nutra-Flo has prepared a written report that includes complete product specifications, a process flow diagram, corrosive test summary and an independent lab analysis of Nulex Liquid Zinc. A copy of this report is available upon request, Call 800 831-4815 and ask for the Nulex Environmental and Product Quality Report. Nulex is the Best Value Besides the environmental issue brought up by the media, we are equally concerned with misleading marketing tactics by chelate and dry zinc manufacturers when discussing water solubility plant availability, economics and performance.
Efficiency ratios refer to how well zinc is absorbed by the plant.
Whereas, the amount of zinc a crop needs to maintain productivity is based on the biological requirements of the plant. Chelate manufacturers boast of high deficiency ratios, or better plant uptake, but at their recommended application rates the amount of zinc in the soil falls far below maintenance levels. With a much lower cost per pound of zinc, using Nulex makes it cost effective to apply proper levels of zinc for maximum crop production. In the adjacent chart, university research indicates zinc uptake of Nulex in corn is slightly better than EDTA chelates. Unlike chelated zinc, Nulex will not leach in light soils.
