Qiaoji®Chelated Secondary & Trace Elements

There are 16 kinds of essential elements for crop growth: Macro Elements, Secondary Elements &Trace Elements(TE). Lack of any essential element, plant growth and development will be abnormal & get deficient disease. Essential elements can not replace each other, so they are all necessary. As the saying goes:no growth without nitrogen, no flower without phosphorus, no fruiting without boron, no coloring without potassium, & more fruit cracking without calcium.

● Major Elements: carbon(C), hydrogen(H), oxygen(O), nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P) & potassium(K)

● Secondary Elements: calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), sulfur(S)

● Trace Elements(TE): copper(Cu), iron(Fe), manganese(Mn), zinc(Zn), boron(B), molybdenum(Mo) & chlorine(Cl)

Qiaoji^®Chelated Secondary & Trace Elements

Chelated elements are metal ions ‘captured’ by strong complexing agents’ molecules, very stable, easily soluble in water & easily absorbed by crops, efficiencies much higher than inorganic elements. Chelated elements are widely used in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, other economic crops, water-soluble fertilizers, foliar fertilizers, organic fertilizers, compound fertilizers, plant nutrient conditioners, etc. Through a variety of fertilization methods they prevent & correct crop nutrient deficiency symptoms. The common chelates are EDTA(Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid), DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid), HEDTA (Hydroxyethyl Ethylene Diamine Triacetic Acid), EDDHA(Ethylene Diamine Di-o-Hydroxyphenylacetic Acid), sugar alcohols, citric acid, amino acids, alginates, etc. This introduction focuses on the Organic Chelated Elements By Compound Sugar Alcohols, produced by Qiaoji Group, supplied to high-quality customers such as multinational companies & the domestic market, with six different sugar alcohols (export grades)(others are willing only to use 1-3 different sugar alcohols while we are willing to adopt six different sugar alcohols). Qiaoji Group also produces & supplies EDTA chelating elements & citric acid chelating elements, etc.

Advantages of compound sugar alcohols(CSA):

1.    The compound is a good complexing agent for secondary & trace elements, and stable.

2.    It is the only material that can carry mineral elements & nutrients in phloem for rapid transportation.

3.    It is a natural extract from plant phloem juice, non-toxic & harmless to plants & human bodies.

4.    Low molecular weight, easy to be absorbed by leaves, easy to degrade & to release nutrients after into plants, low energy consumption.

5.    It is a natural wetting agent with moisturizing function, to avoid the failure of nutrient solution due to rapid drying in leaves, and prolong

       the time for leaves to absorb nutrients.

6.    It is a natural surfactant, to make the nutrient elements spread & cover the whole leaf evenly, to improve the absorption area of the leaf,

       and to avoid burning the leaf due to the excessive local concentration of micronutrient.

7.    It is stable in liquid, especially in alkaline solution. Because of the alkaline environment in phloem, most of the metal mineral nutrients have

       poor solubility & mobility in alkaline environment, while compound sugar alcohols can better reflect the advantage of carrying mineral

       nutrients in phloem.

8.    Improve plants’ stress resistances. Sugar alcohols are important substances involved in intracellular osmoregulation. Under salt, drought,

      flooding & other stresses, sugar alcohols can adjust cell permeability to make plants adapt to stress growth; sugar alcohols can improve

      the resistance to reactive oxygen, and avoid the damage of reactive oxygen in plants caused by ultraviolet sunburn, drought, disease,

      hypoxia & other reasons.
