Citrate Chelated Copper
High-Purity Citrate Chelated Copper for Fertilizer Manufacturing and Specialty Crop Nutrition
Citrate Chelated Copper Ingredient for Modern Fertilizer Formulations
Citrate Chelated Copper is a highly water-soluble micronutrient fertilizer produced by chelating copper with citric acid. Containing 20% copper, it provides an efficient source of plant-available copper for correcting copper deficiency and supporting healthy crop development.
Citric acid serves as a natural organic chelating agent that enhances copper solubility and nutrient availability. Compared with conventional inorganic copper sources, Citrate Chelated Copper offers improved compatibility, reduced precipitation, and better nutrient utilization in liquid fertilizer formulations.
It is widely used in foliar fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, fertigation systems, hydroponics, and specialty fertilizer manufacturing.
