17% Citric Acid Chelated Manganese

17% Citric Acid Chelated Manganese is a specialized nutrient solution designed for agricultural and horticultural applications. It combines manganese, an essential micronutrient for plant health, with citric acid to enhance its availability to plants.

Ingredients

Manganese (Mn), Citric Acid, and other minereal elements

Uses in plants

Manganese is essential for the functioning of photosystem II in the chloroplasts, aiding the absorption of light and conversion into chemical energy. Manganese acts as a co-factor for many enzymes, facilitating biochemical reactions necessary for plant growth and development. It plays a vital role in the assimilation of nitrogen and the formation of amino acids, critical for protein synthesis. Manganese helps plants develop resistance to diseases and environmental stresses, contributing to overall plant vigor.

Applications

1. Soil Application: It can be incorporated into the soil to correct manganese deficiencies, particularly in crops sensitive to nutrient availability.

2. Foliar Spray: The chelated form allows for effective application via foliar sprays, enhancing the immediate availability of manganese to plants that display deficiency symptoms.

3. Hydroponics: Ideal for use in hydroponic systems where micronutrient availability can be tightly controlled.

4. Fertigation: It can be used in fertigation systems, allowing for efficient delivery of manganese directly to the plant's root zone through irrigation water.
