Yates Citrus Cure Zinc and Manganese Chelate is an easy to use liquid trace element mix. Recommended as a foliar application, this delivers zinc and manganese directly to the deficient leaves for faster results. Foliar applications also result in much lower zinc and manganese additions into the soil when compared to traditional soil drench applications, resulting in less wastage and lower risk of soil toxicity.
Corrects zinc and manganese deficiencies, which often occur in citrus trees. Zinc deficiency is indicated by yellowing in new leaf growth. Leaves are small, narrow and appear bunched together. Manganese deficiency is indicated by yellowing between the veins of youngest leaves in early spring. The veins remain broadly green.
Features
- Works differently from other chelates
- Releases nutrients gradually to minimise leaf burn
- A targeted solution for fast results
- Sticks firmly to foliage and is rain-fast in 2-3 hours
Mainly Citrus
Application: Spray to lightly wet the leaves, before runoff. NOT for stone fruit (see stone fruit below)
Rate: Mix 20-30ml in 1L water. Apply with garden sprayer
Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks
Timing: Apply when symptoms appear, reapply as necessary
Area: 1L/15m² depending on size of plant canopy
Stone Fruit

For optimum results, reassess plant symptoms every few weeks to decide if further applications are necessary. Begin treatment as soon as symptoms become visible or early in the growing season if a deficiency is known to exist. It is best to apply many smaller amounts rather than a single large amount.
