Zinc Deficiency in 75% of Cereal Crops, Testing Reveals

Testing has unveiled a zinc shortage in 75% of cereal crops, a significant increase from the past five-year average. FMC’s analysis of over 1,300 samples points to cooler, wetter conditions impacting zinc uptake. Flooding risks and poor root development also contribute to the deficiency. FMC emphasizes the critical need for appropriate foliar nutrition, recommending solutions like Cereal PlusTM and FMC ZincTM to support crop growth and ensure a profitable harvest.
