Agriculture & Fertilizers: Micronutrients for Growth
Essential trace minerals for modern agriculture. Copper and zinc as vital micronutrients for crop yields and livestock health.
Feeding the Soil
While N-P-K (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) are the primary nutrients, crops cannot thrive without essential trace minerals. Morocco's mineral exports play a crucial role in preventing deficiency diseases in plants and animals.
Vital Micronutrients
Zinc Sulfate
- Crop Health: Essential for corn, rice, and wheat. Zinc deficiency causes stunted growth and low yields.
- Animal Feed: Added to livestock feed to boost immune systems and growth rates.
Copper Sulfate
- Fungicide: Widely used in vineyards and fruit orchards (Bordeaux mixture) to control fungal infections.
- Photosynthesis: A key component in the electron transport chain of plants.
Cobalt
- Nitrogen Fixation: Required by legumes to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
- Vitamin B12: Essential for ruminant animals (cattle, sheep).
