Micronutrients

Fertilizing is a standard part of most lawn care routines. Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorous (P) play a significant contributing role in most lawn fertilizers as the primary macronutrients to drive turfgrass health and growth.

However, additional micronutrients can really improve soil and plant health. Lawn micronutrient fertilizer works to add smaller supplies of micronutrients into the soil to positively contribute to grass nutrition and growth.

Reinders makes it easy to supplement your fertilizing with the best micronutrient fertilizers and chemical supplies from top-performing landscaping brands like Plant Food Company, Quest Products, PBI-Gordon, and BioPro. Together, we make it simple to grow beautiful grass!

Micronutrients play an equally important role in the health of your plants and turfgrass as common macronutrients do.

Together, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus along with iron, magnesium, manganese, boron, silica, and calcium can correct nutrient deficiencies within the soil, thus contributing to plant growth and longevity.

Supplementing your standard supplies and fertilizing routine with micronutrient chemicals is a great idea, but how can you tell if your lawn lacks certain micronutrients?

Common nutrient deficiencies may look different in certain soil types and conditions. Stay prepared by learning which soil types and conditions commonly lack certain nutrients below.

• Manganese Deficiency- Sandy soils, alkaline soils, potted/patterned leaf discoloration

• Magnesium Deficiency- High pH or Low CEC soils, acidic, sandy soils, and slightly discolored lower leaves

• Iron Deficiency- High pH soil levels, wet conditions, poorly aerated/compacted soils

• Copper Deficiency- Sandy soils, high pH levels, withered/dark blue leaves, or stunted growth

• Sulfur Deficiency- Slow growth, yellowing of leaves, scorched tips

• Calcium Deficiency- High pH levels, dead leaf tips, inward-curling leaves, short/bunched roots

• Boron Deficiency- High pH soils, sandy soils, thickening and curling leaves

By recognizing plant appearance and soil characteristics, you’ll be able to appropriately supplement your lawn and turf with the right lawn micronutrient fertilizer.

Brands like Plant Food Company, Quest Products, PBI-Gordon, and BioPro provide contractors and landscapers alike with easy-to-use, long-lasting products that improve plant growth and produce professional results.

Explore a few (of many) top-performing lawn micronutrient fertilizers below.

Stimulate plant growth and enhance soil enrichment with a silica micronutrient formula.  Silica causes leaf blades to stand up tall for better cut and photosynthesis.

Manganese and chelated micronutrients work to correct nutrient deficiencies within the soil and plant tissues to return plants to a healthy, normal appearance.

Promote rapid green-up with easy-to-use chelated iron micronutrients. Maintain vigorous, long-lasting turf growth under high-stress conditions on golf courses and residential and commercial lawns.

Stimulate root growth, encourage tiller, rhizome, and stolon production, increase plant vigor and turf stress tolerance with CytoGro hormone biostimulant. This EPA-registered formula helps weak or thin high-traffic turf areas, shallow root systems, and damage from harsh conditions.
