José Alfredo García, general director of Tradecorp in America, speaks about chelated micronutrients: a tool to increase the profitability of crops
The talk was part of the outreach offer of the Argus FMB Added Value Fertilizers Congress, which took place in Miami at the end of April.
In the presentation, the general director of Tradecorp in America explained how chelated nutrients are a crucial nutritional source for the increase in yield and quality. However, for this, it is key that the application takes place at the right time and at the right dose, but, above all, it is most important to know the availability and assimilation capacity of the crop to ensure that the farmer’s investment is profitable.
Why chelated micronutrients?
Chelates are recognized as the most efficient solution for preventing and correcting micronutrient deficiencies in a wide variety of crops. For this reason, farmers all over the world include these products in their nutritional programs.
In non-chelated micronutrients, metals are unprotected against the possible combination with other elements such as phosphates and carbonates, both in the soil and in the mixing tanks. These interactions can cause the formation of insoluble compounds and their precipitation, preventing them from being correctly assimilated by plants.
In the case of chelates, metal micronutrients are “protected” by the chelate. This prevents the nutrient from being “fixed” or blocked in soil or tanks. In this way, micronutrients are fully available to be absorbed by both the roots and the leaves, so that the crops can use them for what they need.
