Soileos Zinc

Soileos Zinc is a soil-applied crop nutrition product that enhances yields, crop resilience, and soil health through improved nutrient delivery and sustained bioavailability.

Why Choose Soileos Zinc for Crop Nutrition?

Soileos Zinc is the best choice for meeting your crop’s nutritional needs because it increases crop yields and is climate positive. Soileos Zinc empowers farmers to grow better crops while improving soil health and sequestering carbon. 

Zinc is the most widespread micronutrient constraint limiting crop yields. Zinc deficiency occurs for several reasons: be it a lack of zinc content in the soil due to geography, limited availability due to high soil pH, or when crop removal exceeds zinc availability and fertilization over a long period.  

Our research has shown that Soileos Zinc solves this problem.

Zinc plays an important role in:

  • Root formation and growth – indirectly impacting water and nutrient uptake
  • Protection from environmental stresses such as drought and temperature
  • Activating enzymes needed for protein synthesis and hormone regulation
  • Formation of chlorophyll and carbohydrates and conversion of starches into sugars

How to Use

Soileos Zinc Soilhealth

How Does Soileos Zinc Improve Soil Health?

Nutrients delivered from Soileos to the crop lean on the symbiotic relationship of microbes in the soil. Studies with Soileos show that it improves soil health by increasing the microbial biomass in the soil by over 20%. The carbon in Soileos is fuel for your soil microbiome, and as the cellulose is broken down, microbes release or ingest nutrients.

How to Use Soileos Zinc

Ease of Use

The Soileos pellet is durable and easy to handle. The pellet does not break apart during shipping or blending with other dry fertilizers, so very little dust is generated when Soileos is moved from bin to bin.

Packaging Size

2,000 lbs. totes or bulk delivery.

Field Application

Soileos Zinc is designed to blend well with other dry fertilizers and can be applied using existing field equipment such as air-seeders and strip-till rigs. Due to the low salt index, Soileos can be placed directly in the seed row.

Blending

When handled, the product has low dust and a high pellet durability index (PDI) of 95+, so it easily blends with standard dry fertilizer products without separation, settling, or breaking down.

Application Timing

Apply at or pre-plant with other dry fertilizers.
