Amino Acid Chelated Zinc
High-Purity Amino Acid Chelated Zinc for Fertilizer Manufacturing and Specialty Crop Nutrition
Amino Acid Chelated Zinc Ingredient for Modern Fertilizer Formulations
Amino Acid Chelated Zinc is a highly bioavailable micronutrient fertilizer produced by chelating zinc with amino acids, primarily glycine. The combination of zinc and amino acid provides excellent nutrient availability, allowing plants to absorb zinc more efficiently while simultaneously benefiting from the biostimulant effects of amino acids.
Compared with conventional zinc salts, amino acid chelated zinc is absorbed more rapidly through leaves and roots, improves nutrient utilization, and enhances crop growth under various environmental conditions.
It is widely used in foliar fertilizers, fertigation programs, water-soluble fertilizers, and specialty crop nutrition formulations.
Key Benefits
Dual Nutritional Function
Provides both zinc and amino acids, supplying essential micronutrients while stimulating plant metabolism.
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
Small amino acid molecules facilitate rapid absorption through leaves and roots, improving zinc uptake efficiency.
Rapid Deficiency Correction
Quickly corrects zinc deficiency while supporting healthy vegetative growth.
Improved Stress Resistance
Amino acids help plants tolerate drought, heat, transplant shock, and other environmental stresses.
