Amino Acid Chelated Copper
High-Purity Amino Acid Chelated Copper for Fertilizer Manufacturing and Specialty Crop Nutrition
Amino Acid Chelated Copper Ingredient for Modern Fertilizer Formulations
Amino Acid Chelated Copper is a premium water-soluble copper fertilizer produced by chelating copper with amino acids, primarily glycine. Containing 17% copper and 20% amino acids, it delivers highly bioavailable copper while enhancing nutrient absorption through the natural transport function of amino acids.
Copper is an essential micronutrient involved in photosynthesis, enzyme activation, lignin formation, reproductive development, and plant defense. The amino acid carrier promotes rapid foliar absorption and efficient nutrient utilization, making this product particularly suitable for premium foliar nutrition and specialty crop production.
It is widely used in foliar fertilizers, fertigation systems, greenhouse production, hydroponics, and specialty fertilizer formulations.
Key Benefits
Dual Nutritional Function
Supplies both highly available copper and amino acids to support healthy crop growth and physiological activity.
Rapid Foliar Absorption
The amino acid carrier facilitates efficient copper uptake through leaf surfaces, helping plants respond quickly to copper deficiency.
Supports Plant Health
Copper plays a key role in enzyme activity, lignin synthesis, and reproductive development while contributing to stronger plant structure.
Improves Crop Performance
Enhances nutrient utilization, promotes healthy flowering, and improves crop quality and productivity.
