Results for tag: "Agricultural Chelates"

Agricultural chelates are a type of fertilizer used to improve the availability of essential nutrients to plants. They are composed of a metal ion, such as iron, zinc, or copper, and a chelating agent, such as EDTA or EDDHA. The chelating agent binds to the metal ion, making it more soluble in soil and more available to plants. This helps to reduce nutrient losses due to leaching and improves the efficiency of fertilizer applications. Agricultural chelates are used in a variety of crops, including cereals, vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. They are also used in turfgrass and golf course management. The use of chelates in agriculture has been increasing in recent years due to their ability to improve crop yields and reduce fertilizer costs. Some companies in the agricultural chelates market include BASF, AkzoNobel, Yara International, and Haifa Group. Show Less Read more
