If you don’t know about chelated fertilizer yet, the following content will answer your questions.
Chelated fertilizer is a fertilizer that chelates various elemental components together through a unique production method. This chelate is called a complex in chemistry, and its characteristic is that a macromolecular ligand is connected to a central metal atom to form a ring structure. Organic molecular compounds that can chelate with metal ions are called chelators or ligands.
This chelator can effectively capture and release metal ions in plant cells, thereby promoting the absorption of nutrients by crops and making them more sufficient and reasonable. Therefore, chelators play the role of a command center in plants, balancing the nutrient supply of various parts and helping plants grow healthily. It can be said that the application of chelators in fertilizer production is a major innovation in the field of agriculture.
As an ecological fertilizer, chelated fertilizer is developed based on the theory of ecological agriculture, combined with microbial life information regulation and slow release and controlled release technology. After years of field experiments, it can not only significantly increase the yield of agricultural products, but also effectively improve the quality of agricultural products.
This fertilizer combines the high efficiency of organic fertilizer and the slow release of controlled-release fertilizer. It not only contains the nutritional seasoning factors and growth-promoting factors required by crops, but also incorporates a variety of highly active synergistic substances. These substances can improve the microecological environment of plant roots and enhance the vitality of soil microorganisms. At the same time, they have a slow-release and controlled-release effect on nitrogen fertilizers and an activation function for phosphorus and potassium elements. In addition, it can also improve the effectiveness of medium and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and manganese in the soil.
It can significantly promote the photosynthesis of crops, achieve complementarity, balance and coordination between nutrients, and thus promote the healthy development of the root system. Through the use of chelated fertilizers, the utilization rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be increased by 20% to 35%, and the duration of fertilizer effect is more than doubled that of ordinary fertilizers. Under the fertilization conditions of the same nutrient content, field crops can achieve a 15% to 20% increase in yield, while cash crops can increase yields by 15% to 30%.
In addition, chelate fertilizers can effectively adjust and improve the physiological functions of plants, and enhance the resistance and lodging resistance of crops to drought, high temperature, low temperature, salinity and other adversities. At the same time, it can activate the activity of multiple enzymes in plants, help decompose and remove pathogens, thereby improving the resistance of crops to diseases and pests, significantly reducing the incidence rate, and reducing the use of pesticides.
In addition, chelate fertilizers can also promote the reproduction of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, stimulate the activity of spontaneous nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and thus improve the fertility of the soil. It not only has all the advantages of organic fertilizers, but also performs well in improving the soil environment, maintaining the balance of plant rhizosphere microecology, and increasing crop yields and agricultural product quality. All indicators have reached or exceeded the production standards of pollution-free organic agricultural products. It can also increase the starch and protein content in grain crops, improve the sugar content, coloring and fresh-keeping and storage of fruit and vegetable crops, showing advantages that organic fertilizers cannot match.
