Ecodust Nutrients

ECODUST contains Boron, Calcium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sodium, Sulphur and Zinc. These are all micronutrients / trace minerals and as its name suggests, small quantities [micro] are necessary for all plant health.

PHOSPHOROUS [P] is an essential macronutrient and is important in plant bioenergetics, phosphorous is needed as part of photosynthesis to convert light to chemical energy. It’s an essential part of photosynthesis and is involved in the formation of all oils, sugars and starches. It enables proper plant maturation and aids the plant to withstand stress.

POTASSIUM [K] is an essential macronutrient and is absorbed by plants in larger amounts except Nitrogen and in some cases Calcium. Potassium helps in the building of protein, photosynthesis, fruit quality and the reduction in plant disease.

CALCIUM [Ca] is an essential part of plant cell wall structure. Calcium provides for the transport and retention of other elements, as well as being responsible for the strength of the plant.

MAGNESIUM [Mg] is part of the chlorophyll in all green plants and is essential for photosynthesis. Magnesium helps activate many plant enzymes needed for growth.

SULPHUR [S] is an essential plant nutrient for the production of protein. Sulphur promotes development of enzymes and vitamins, aids chlorophyll production and improves root growth and seed production.

BORON [B] maintains the integrity of cell walls, regulates the uptake of nutrients, aids the production of sugars and carbohydrates and is essential for fruit and seed development.

COPPER [Cu] is essential for reproductive growth, aids root metabolism and the utilisation of proteins.

IRON [Fe] is essential for the formation of chlorophyll and combines with Sulphur in the Nitrogen fixing process.

MANGANESE [Mn] Works with enzyme systems in the breakdown of carbohydrates and the metabolism of Nitrogen.

ZINC [Zn] is essential for the transformation of carbohydrates and is part of the enzymatic systems which regulate plant growth. Zinc is the most common plant nutrient deficiency and soils that are poor in Zinc are more susceptible to disease.

Paramagnetism is essential for plant growth. When applied to soil, it’s found to improve soil pH, moisture retention, microbial activity and soil structure.
