MICROEDGE CHELATE

High-precision flowering-stage micronutrient formulation combining boron (B, 100 g/L as Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate), EDTA-chelated Zn²⁺ (20 g/L), sugar alcohol complex (100 g/L), and Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract (200 g/L). Corrects and prevents hidden B and Zn²⁺ deficiencies that impair pollination, fruit set, and seed formation.

Boron and zinc both show up in fruit quality problems more than almost any other micronutrients, boron affects sugar transport and cell wall strength in the fruit itself, while zinc is tied to hormone balance that governs even fruit sizing and development. A shortage in either can show up as uneven fruit shape, poor sizing, or reduced firmness, even when the plant otherwise looks healthy.

The sugar alcohol complex here helps both micronutrients move into the leaf efficiently once sprayed.

Recommended rate: 0.5–1.5 litres per hectare per application

Apply during fruit development rather than earlier in the season, this is when boron and zinc demand is highest and when a shortage actually shows up in the harvested fruit. Expect the effect to show as improved fruit quality at harvest rather than any visible change immediately after spraying.

This is a mineral micronutrient fertilizer, not a crop-protection chemical, so normal good hygiene during mixing, gloves, avoid ingestion, wash hands afterward, is enough. Store in a dry place away from children, food, and livestock.
