Krizinc Liquid Fertilizer (Zinc Oxide 39.5% SC)
High-Performance Zinc Suspension for Rice, Cotton, and Vegetables
Krizinc is a premium, high-concentration liquid zinc fertilizer made by Krishi Rasayan. Unlike older powder fertilizers that wash away easily, this advanced Suspension Concentrate (SC) sticks to your crop's leaves for longer-lasting results. It is the best solution for correcting hidden zinc deficiencies and boosting crop yield in Indian soils.
Best For: Curing "Khaira" disease in Paddy and "Rosetting" in Cotton.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Krizinc works differently than standard powder fertilizers because of its "Suspension" technology.
- Superior Adhesion: When sprayed, the micro-particles of Zinc Oxide stick firmly to the leaf surface and resist washing off.
- Sustained Release: These particles dissolve slowly with morning dew or moisture, providing a steady supply of zinc to the plant for weeks.
- Hormone Activation: The absorbed zinc immediately boosts the production of "Auxins" (growth hormones), forcing the plant to grow taller and healthier.
This mechanism bypasses "soil lock-up" (where soil chemistry makes zinc unavailable), ensuring 100% of the nutrient reaches the plant.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Deficiency / Issue |

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always shake the bottle vigorously before opening. Follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 250 - 300 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.5 ml | 20-30 |
| Cotton | 300 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1.5 - 2 ml | 20 |
| Vegetables | 200 - 250 ml | 150 L | 1.5 ml | 7-10 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Paddy, apply 15-20 days after transplanting (critical for Khaira). For Cotton, apply 3-4 weeks after sowing.
- Mixing: The liquid is heavy. Shake the container well before use. Do NOT mix with DAP or Phosphorus fertilizers as it will curdle.
- Coverage: Ensure good spray coverage on the underside of leaves for maximum absorption.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Krizinc with DAP or NPK?
No. Zinc and Phosphorus react to form a solid stone-like substance. This blocks nozzles and makes the fertilizer useless. Spray them at least 10 days apart.
2. Is this better than Zinc Sulphate powder?
Yes. Krizinc contains 39.5% Zinc, which is higher than most powders. It is also rainfast and less likely to burn the leaves.
3. When should I spray Krizinc on rice?
The most important time is 15 to 20 days after transplanting. A second spray can be done 45 days after transplanting if needed.
4. What is the price of Krizinc?
It is an economical choice compared to multinational brands like Yara, offering the same 39.5% concentration at a better price point.
5. Is it safe for fish in paddy fields?
No. Zinc oxide is toxic to fish. Do not drain the water from treated paddy fields into ponds containing fish.
