Citrate Chelated Nutrients
Citrate-based chelated iron, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium, and blended micronutrient ingredients for specialty fertilizer formulations, foliar nutrition, and OEM crop nutrition products.
What Are Citrate Chelated Nutrients?
Citrate chelated nutrients combine essential plant nutrients with citric acid-based chelation technology to improve solubility, formulation flexibility, and nutrient compatibility.
They are widely used in specialty fertilizers, foliar nutrition products, liquid fertilizers, and micronutrient blends where formulation efficiency and compatibility are important.
Citrate chelates are often selected for value-added nutrient products, specialty crop programs, and customized OEM fertilizer formulations.
