Secondary Nutrients

Secondary nutrients are very much vital to the crops and soil. Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphur are called secondary nutrients. Each and every secondary nutrient plays a dominant role in the plant nutrition management. Increased need of Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphur by crop plants in addition to primary nutrients such as N, P & K has led Greenstar to market CMS in the form of granulated and powder form of ‘Keerthi’ and Phosphor Gypsum in bulk and bagged as per the market requirement.
