Nutrient composition and Optimized Release Technology (ORT)
Techno-Z delivers a concentrated synergistic blend of elemental sulphur (67% minimum) and zinc (14% minimum) in micro-encapsulated water-dispersible granules.
Its patented Optimized Release Technology ensures steady, prolonged nutrient availability throughout the crop growth cycle, preventing the rapid chemical fixation common with conventional zinc sulphate fertilizers.
- Active nutrients: Sulphur 67% + Zinc 14% in WDG micro-granules.
- Optimized Release Technology (ORT): Provides controlled, sustained nutrient release matching plant uptake curves.
- Soil pH buffering: Elemental sulphur oxidation creates localized acidification in alkaline soils, freeing up locked native nutrients.
Crop benefits and physiological functions
Zinc is vital for auxin (growth hormone) synthesis, internodal elongation, and enzyme activation, while sulphur is indispensable for synthesizing amino acids (cysteine, methionine) and chlorophyll.
Applying Techno-Z prevents zinc deficiency symptoms such as khaira disease in paddy and white bud in maize, while simultaneously boosting crop oil content and protein levels.
- Paddy (Rice): Eliminates khaira disease, stimulates vigorous tillering, and improves panicle emergence.
- Oilseeds (Mustard, Groundnut, Soybean): Significantly enhances oil percentage and seed weight.
- Pulses: Promotes nodule formation and protein synthesis.
- Maize & Cereals: Prevents white bud chlorosis and improves grain filling.
Application methods, timing, and compatibility
Techno-Z can be broadcast directly into the soil at sowing or transplanting, or incorporated during basal and early top-dressing fertilizer rounds.
Its fine micro-granules disperse completely in moist soil and mix smoothly with major bulk fertilizers like Urea, DAP, or complex NPK grades without segregation.
- Basal soil application: Apply at the time of sowing or transplanting mixed with basal fertilizers.
- Top dressing: Broadcast during the first top dressing round in standing crops under moist soil conditions.
- Bulk compatibility: Mixes smoothly with Urea, DAP, and NPK fertilizers without dusting or clumping.

Common questions
What is the nutrient composition of Techno-Z fertilizer?
Techno-Z contains 67% Sulphur and 14% Zinc in a specialized water-dispersible granule (WDG) micro-granule formulation.
What is the advantage of Optimized Release Technology (ORT)?
ORT provides sustained, need-based release of zinc and sulphur throughout the crop cycle, preventing nutrient fixation and leaching.
Which crops benefit most from Techno-Z application?
It is highly beneficial for paddy, mustard, groundnut, soybean, maize, wheat, and pulses that require zinc and sulphur.
