NEW WATER-SOLUBLE CHELATED MICRONUTRIENT FERTILIZERS
Problem and implemented solution
Metal coordination complexes are often used as effective micro-component additives in agriculture. However, their poor solubility in water limits their use. The project is a technology for the production of water-soluble chelated complexes of trace elements (Mn, Mo, Co, Cu, Zn, B, Fe) to be used as micronutrients to increase crop yields. The technology involves the production of fertilizers in a "single" format, containing only one micronutrient. This allows for a flexible approach to determining the optimal composition depending on a plant and soil conditions. Solutions of various micronutrient fertilizers can be mixed together to create stable mixtures without sedimentation.

Description of competitive advantages
- Full solubility in water - A wide range of essential micronutrients in a chelated form - Greater efficiency compared to conventional inorganic salts - Long-term storage stability - The ability to individually select the proportions of trace elements - chelating agent is etidronic acid, which is an organophosphorus compound that also binds to metal ions. Etidronic acid plays an important role in many biochemical processes inside plants, as it contains phosphorus and potassium atoms necessary for plant growth. It decomposes quickly in the soil and is actually a useful additive, unlike the toxic and less effective EDTA.
