Zinc: Zinc helps in carbohydrate, protein and chlorophyll formation in okra plants. Which is responsible for driving metabolic reactions. This increases the production as well as the quality of the crop. In addition to zinc, it also makes sulfur available to crops. And sulfur helps in fruit formation in okra. Also, sulfur helps in protein formation.

Calbor: Calbor contains Calcium + Boron which is essential for nutrition, growth, photosynthesis, transport of sugars and cell wall formation.

  • Leaves and stems become purple, the plant and leaves remain small.

  • Sulfur helps in the formation of chlorophyll in the leaves, which makes the leaves of plants green in colour.

  • Sulfur helps in the formation of enzymes and vitamins in plants.

  • In leguminous crops, it is essential for the formation of root nodules that fix nitrogen.

  • Mustard, onion, garlic and chilli have their natural smell due to sulphur.

  • Increases oil content in the seeds of oilseed crops.
