Micronutrients are needed in grams per hectare, but availability — not applied quantity — is what determines whether the crop gets them.
Soil pH, organic matter and antagonist ions all pull trace metals out of solution. Chelation is the standard answer: bind the metal to a ligand that keeps it soluble and available through the window when roots or leaves can take it up.
What we supply

Why chelate at all A free metal ion in soil is quickly fixed into forms a plant cannot take up. A chelate holds the metal in a ring structure that keeps it available long enough to be absorbed.
Amino acid chelates Copper, selenium and molybdenum supplied as amino acid chelates — the ligand is itself plant-compatible, which suits foliar programmes.
EDTA-based systems EDTA and its magnesium disodium salt remain the workhorse synthetic chelants where a stability constant across a wide pH band is what the formulation needs.
