Mineral Salts for Plant Nutrition & Fertilizer Applications

Nitrogen is crucial for plant growth as it forms the backbone of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll. It promotes vegetative development and deep green foliage. Deficiency symptoms include pale or yellowing older leaves (chlorosis), stunted growth, and delayed maturity due to its mobile nature within plants. At Lohtragon^®, we supply nitrogen salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Phosphorus supports energy transfer via ATP, root formation, and flower and fruit development. It is integral to DNA and RNA structures. A deficiency typically results in dark green or purplish foliage, particularly in older leaves, along with poor root growth and delayed flowering. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture phosphorous salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Potassium regulates water use, enzyme activation, and enhances disease resistance. It also improves fruit quality and strengthens stems. Deficiency leads to chlorosis along leaf margins (leaf scorch), weak stalks, and poor drought tolerance due to disrupted water regulation. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Potassium salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Calcium stabilizes cell walls and membranes, and supports root and shoot tip growth. It is essential for signaling pathways in cells. Deficiency symptoms include tip burn in young leaves, blossom-end rot in fruits like tomatoes, and poor root development since it is immobile in plants. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Calcium salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Sulfur is necessary for synthesizing certain amino acids (cysteine, methionine) and vitamins, and it enhances enzyme function. Deficiency appears as yellowing of younger leaves and can be mistaken for nitrogen deficiency, though it affects newer growth due to sulfur’s low mobility. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Sulfur salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis and is involved in redox reactions during photosynthesis and respiration. Deficiency results in interveinal chlorosis on young leaves due to its immobility, and is common in high-pH soils. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Iron salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Manganese plays a role in photosynthetic oxygen evolution and nitrogen metabolism. Deficiency causes interveinal chlorosis, speckling, and sometimes necrotic spots on young leaves. It is often seen in calcareous or over-limed soils. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Manganese salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Zinc is key for enzyme function, hormone production (especially auxins), and protein synthesis. Deficiency leads to stunted growth, small and distorted leaves, and a condition known as “little leaf.” It also causes interveinal chlorosis in younger leaves. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Zinc salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Copper is involved in photosynthesis, respiration, and lignin synthesis. Its deficiency causes young leaves to wilt and turn bluish-green, and can result in dieback of stems and poor grain or fruit production due to inadequate lignification. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Copper salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Molybdenum is critical for nitrogen fixation and nitrate reduction. A deficiency manifests as pale leaves, marginal necrosis, and symptoms similar to nitrogen deficiency, particularly in legumes which rely on nitrogen-fixing bacteria Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Molybdenum salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

Chlorine aids in osmosis, ionic balance, and photosynthetic reactions. Though rare, its deficiency results in wilting, chlorosis, and reduced root growth. However, excess chloride can be toxic, especially in sensitive crops. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Chlorine salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.

As the central atom in chlorophyll, magnesium is vital for photosynthesis. It also activates enzymes for carbohydrate metabolism. Deficiency causes interveinal chlorosis, especially in older leaves, and can lead to leaf curling and premature leaf drop. Under the Lohtragon^® brand, we manufacture Magnesium salts as high-purity raw materials for formulators to create their own fertilizer solutions.
