Citrate Chelated Manganese
High-Purity Citrate Chelated Manganese for Fertilizer Manufacturing and Specialty Crop Nutrition
Citrate Chelated Manganese Ingredient for Modern Fertilizer Formulations
Citrate Chelated Manganese is a highly water-soluble micronutrient fertilizer produced by chelating manganese with citric acid. Containing 17% manganese, it provides an efficient source of plant-available manganese for correcting manganese deficiency and promoting healthy crop development.
Citric acid functions as a natural organic chelating agent that enhances manganese solubility and nutrient availability. Compared with conventional inorganic manganese sources, Citrate Chelated Manganese offers improved compatibility, reduced precipitation, and enhanced nutrient efficiency in liquid fertilizer formulations.
It is widely used in foliar fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, fertigation systems, hydroponics, and specialty fertilizer manufacturing.
