Micronutrients

There are actually 20 mineral elements necessary or beneficial for plant growth.
1. Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) are supplied by air and water.
2. The six macronutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S) are required by plants in large amounts.
3. The rest of the elements are required in trace amounts (micronutrients). Essential trace elements include boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), zinc (Zn), molybdenum (Mo), and nickel (Ni). Beneficial mineral elements include silicon (Si) and cobalt (Co).
The term micronutrient refers to the relative quantity of a nutrient that is required for plant growth.

Mahek Agro provides micronutrients in the form of EDTA chelates.

A chelate describes as kind of chemical complex in which the metal part of the molecule is held so tightly that it cannot be stolen by contact with other substances, which could convert it to an insoluble form.

In case of EDTA chelates, EDTA means Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid. The EDTA surrounds the inorganic nutrient and gives it an organic coating. This organic coating around the micronutrient forms a weak bond with the nutrient and makes it more accessible to the plant.

Micronutrients are utilized by soil application, foliar and fertigation.
