AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current fertilizers often require multiple applications throughout a plant's growth cycle, risking damage to plants and failing to provide essential micronutrients at critical growth stages due to soil deficiencies, leading to reduced crop value and increased costs.

Method used

A multi-source micronutrient composition comprising a chelated form and a non-chelated form of the same micronutrient, along with a water-soluble and water-insoluble form of boron, to ensure sustained availability of nutrients in the soil over an extended period.

Benefits of technology

The composition maintains consistent micronutrient concentrations in the soil, enhancing plant growth and nutrient uptake, reducing the need for frequent applications and minimizing nutrient deficiencies, thereby improving crop yields and reducing costs.

Abstract

The present disclosure is concerned with fertilizer compositions that provide controlled, delayed, and / or prolonged release of micronutrients in soil. In one embodiment, the inventive composition comprises a dry, powdered blend of a first target micronutrient source in chelated form and a second source of the same target micronutrient but provided in non-chelated form. In another embodiment, the inventive composition provides at least two sources of boron, with one source being a water-soluble form and the other source being a water-insoluble form. Regardless of the embodiment, the methods of using the fertilizer composition results in increased uptake of the particular micronutrient, nitrogen, and / or potassium compared to the prior art.
