Giving Plants More Nutrients With Less Applied Fertilizer

AgroLiquid developed Flavonol Polymer Technology to solve a problem most farmers are familiar with: nutrient tie-up in the soil. After applying literal tons of fertilizer, plants still may not reach their full growth potential. This occurs because most of these nutrients become tied up in the soil before plants can use them. After that, they often end up filtering away into lakes and rivers through rain and snowmelt. Our chelated nutrients use Flavonol Polymer Technology to release slowly and directly to plants, so they are used more efficiently. This means plants use more nutrients, with less soil tie-up and runoff.

How it Works

Our Flavonol Polymer Technology is based on specially-formulated plant-based chelates. Chelates protect nutrient atoms like potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and others in a polymer shell. And, because the chelant is plant-derived, the crop recognizes the material and utilizes it, as well. Plants are able to naturally deconstruct this shell. The chelated nutrient fertilizers are protected from bonding with ions in the soil—which makes them unusable to plants—but the plants can still break down the plant-derived polymer shell to get to the nutrients inside. Since the chelated micronutrients and macronutrients break down over time, they’re available to use over a longer period. This means more nutrients for plants and fewer trips for farmers.
