New user so sorry if this has been discussed already. What are peoples thoughts on manganese- cheap ibc’s v’s more expensive products like NorTrace mitra.

have used all sorts over the years and just using higher rates of cheap stuff seems to work best / most cost effective

What’s the thoughts on stuff like headland trice / Yara mancozin, basically manganese, copper and zinc in a can? Seems to be a big difference in price across suppliers. Does anyone make their own brew?

My thoughts are they bung up my sprayer and don't like to run out of can. Some farmers I spray for use them.I won't go back to using them. Will just continue to use copper, manganese, mag sulphate as a straight. Have used zinc in the past but not worth it in my opinion.

Do you have a good copper source? The ones I use always seem to bung stuff up.

This year it's been Yara zintrac but previously I've used omex folex zn or I did have one from agrii a few years ago which was ok in the spreader but like a giant boggy to get out of the can.
