Mangenese Edta - 12.4% Mangenese Content, Off White Free Flowing Powder | Soluble In Water, Foliar Application Benefits, Prevents Precipitation And Oxidation

Chelates are useful for micronutrients applied to alkaline soils. Applying Mangenese directly to the soil is inefficient because in soil solution they are present as positively charged metal ions and will readily react with oxygen and/or negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH). If they react with oxygen or hydroxide ion, they form new compounds that are not bioavailable to plants. Both oxygen and hydroxide ions are abundant in soil and soilless growth media. The ligand can protect the micronutrient from precipitation or oxidation. The organic coating in the chelate prevents these reactions from occurring in the soil. The plant roots take up the chelated nutrient and the chelate releases this nutrient within the plant. Chelated nutrients are also useful for foliar application. Plant leaves have a waxy coating that prevents them from drying. The wax repels water and inorganic substances making it difficult for inorganic nutrients to enter into the leaf. However organic molecules can penetrate into the wax. The organic coating around the chelated nutrient allows it to penetrate through the wax into the leaf. Once in the leaf, the chelate releases the nutrient so that it can be used by the plant.
