Description
Keep pecan trees healthy and productive. Prevents and corrects the nutrient disorder, Rosette, in pecan trees. Zinc Sulfate is critical to growing pecans where low soil-levels of zinc stunt tree growth and cause malformed nuts. May be used as a soil additive or fast-acting foliar spray. For best results, apply foliar spray in early spring, when leaves are tender. Only use as needed, as instructed by product label, and do not overuse.
- For use as a foliar spray: 1 tablespoon per 3 gallons of water
- For use as a soil additive: 1-3/4 lbs. per inch of trunk diameter

Why did you choose this?
Diagnosed as zinc deficiency. What is best treatment- zinc chelate or zinc sulfate?
I used this on my young Stark pecan trees to increase yield. I just made a band to this product around the drip line in the early spring. I did have a better yield that year. Didn't use it last year and had no nuts at all, but as I didn't have any peaches either, assume no crops were weather related. Will try this stuff again this year.
is this product the same as NZN?
No, it is not. NZN is a commercial nitrogen/zinc formulation; HiYield is zinc sulfate and is intended for use on pecan trees.
where is the zinc sulfate sourced?
Hi Juan, I do not understand your question. Can you please rephrase it?
We bought some zinc. how do you get the pelts to desolve ?
I use these pellets to feed my persimmon trees. After working the product into the soil I see the pellets for some time until they eventually do dissolve. The pellets are very concentrated so it takes time for them to fully disappear which, I believe is done on purpose to ensure a continued supply. If you nee to dissolve more quickly them maybe crushing the pellets will help but I cant bet certain.
how will granules dissolve in sprayer if the sprayer does not hold 3 gallons of water?
I did not use it in sprayer—I broadcast it on the ground just before a rain and let it dissolve.
How many gallons of spray liquid from one bag?
I am unsure but we recommend using 1 tablespoon per 3 gallons of water.
Will septic tank water spray affect pecan trees?
I have not used septic tank water on pecan trees but I have used it on other types of trees with no problems.
Tree Does not bloom, bloomed once 4 years ago ?
Hi, Yes, I was having the same problem - my apple trees quit blooming. I used this in the fall and Spring, and they started blooming again. I'm going to keep using it and treating the trees Fall and Spring. That said, it also means the soil is too acidic (my trees catch the fall out from a lot of Virginia Pines), so I am also laying down a lot of lime as well. But, the lime will take a couple years to really permeate down low into the soil.
Do you have the zinc sulfate in larger bags?
Hi, Sandy. I'm sorry, this is the only size that's manufactured.
For the past 2 years my pecans have had black streaks in the kernels will zinc help?
This will definitely help. Many growers have this particular issue with pecans. For best results, apply foliar spray in early spring, when leaves are tender. You can also sprinkle the recommended amount on the ground and let Mother Nature rain it in. Only use as needed, as instructed by product label, and do not overuse.

Always in a hurry.
I mix 1 tablespoon HiYield Zinc Sulfate to 3 gal. water. I'm always in a hurry so I put zinc in coffee grinder and "Presto" a powder that dissolves very quickly!

Pecan Trees
I apply zinc sulfate to my pecan trees. One of the three is about 8 inches in diameter and over 30 feet tall. Hoping for pecans this year!

Tall Pecan trees
We planted our pecans 10 years ago. They are some of the tallest trees on the place. We've been getting pecans off them for the last 2 years. That's ahead of when they were supposed to produce. We've used the zinc sulfate nearly every year. We like the results.

Zinc used for pecan tree
The granuals are diluted in water and place in a sprayer to spray my one and only pecan tree. I do this twice a year. During the winter months I sprinkle the zinc on the ground and water. Without the zinc my pecan crop do not fill the shell completely with meat. Zinc absorbs into the leaves and bark when I spray.

Zinc Sulfate
I don't know how it is going to work. We just applied it to the trees last weekend. I hope it works because the trees are two years old and have grown very little.

I found out it did not work in my blonde auto mix sprayer...it did not dissolve..so I put it on the ground ..thank.s for asking
Would like to give our pecans the best chance to survive.
My pecan tree is not thriving. It needs some help!
Have a tree not producing and a farmer neighbor recommended the zinc fertilizer
My soil is low on zinc and sulfur, so I am choosing zinc sulfate because it is a soluble form of both.
