Prevent Micronutrient Deficiencies - Add Micro-Che Crop Mix to Your Granular Fertilizer
Micro-Che™ Crop Mix is a high quality chelated line of micronutrients designed for impregnation on granular fertilizer.
- Ease of handling – Great flowability and easy to apply.
- More feeding sites – With every granule being coated, Micro-Che Crop Mix provides a uniform supply of micronutrients across the entire field.
- 100% plant available – Chelation protects the nutrient from being tied up in the soil, allowing for season long availability.
- Improves nutrient use efficiency – The more uniform the supply of micronutrients across the field, the more accessible it is for the plant’s roots to uptake these nutrients.
- 100% Soluble – Means the nutrients can be taken up by the root. In contrast, oxide based products are not readily available to the plant.
- Compatible with Convey, Synergro M2, UAN, Arise, 10-34-0, 3-10-10 and ATS.
Improved Flowability
- A standard viscosity test clearly highlighted the ease of use with Micro-Che Crop Mix when compared to an alternative product.
- Micro-Che Crop Mix was 300x more flowable at room temperature vs. the alternative product (see table below).
- To help explain the level of viscosity and flowability, we used water and corn syrup as a reference. Micro-Che Crop Mix was similar to water while the alternative oxide product flowed like corn syrup.
Increased Solubility and Availability
Mortvedt summarized the percent solubility (or lack of) of 3 different forms of zinc. Nutrients must be soluble and in soil solution to be taken up by the plant’s roots.
In addition, Mortvedt’s research showed that when sulphate based micronutrients were combined with Phosphorus, after 4 hours, only 4% of the Zinc was readily available to the plant. In contrast, EDTA chelated products remain 100% plant available.
Proven Agronomic Performance
- Trials conducted in 2020 on wheat, canola and soybeans showed the value of impregnating 11-52-0 with Micro-Che Crop Mix. The incremental yield benefit ranged from a 1.0 bu/ac up to 3.8 bu/ac increase.
- In contrast, the alternative oxide based micronutrient brought no incremental benefit in terms of crop yield.

Product Recommendations
Impregnate Micro-Che Crop Mix on your granular fertilizer blend.
Avoid application to urea or blends that have a high percentage of urea in them.
