Chelated Fertilizer

Arihant Group is a leading supplier of quality micronutrients in form of EDTA chelates and Amino Acid Chelates. Chelate is a complex of a micronutrient ion and an organic molecule that "holds" it, called a ligand. As long as the ion is attached to the ligand, it is protected from interacting with other ions in the solution, which might turn it unavailable for plant uptake. EDTA is also known as Ethylene Diamine Tetra-Acetic Acid. It is a chelating agent, which means that its molecular structure allows it to bind to heavy metals. Ligands are organic compounds like Ethylene Diamine Tetra-Acetic Acid (EDTA) produces steady chelates with micronutrients. It keeps these metal ions in a soluble form supplying nutritional benefit to the plants. Amino Acid Chelates are natural bio-organic chelating agents. A bio-organic chelating agent functions as a very powerful delivery system for nutrients; Arihant Pro-range contains amino acids derived from soy proteins, fortified with nitrogen. As the micronutrient ions are consumed by the plant, more ions are released from the holding ligands, thus becoming available for plant uptake. This mechanism maximizes the efficiency of the micronutrients applied. The chelates ensure the availability of micronutrients in both alkaline and acidic soils.
