• MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13  is essential for crops with high demand for manganese, i.e. cereals, rapeseed, maize, potato, sugar beet, rice, apple tree, cherry tree, plum tree, peach tree, citrus, grapevine, raspberry, pea, bean, spinach, cabbage, onion, cucumber, tomato. It is also recommended for soil conditions restricting the availability of manganese for plants (high pH, high iron content, lack of oxygen in the root zone).

• MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 used preventively in the recommended periods and doses prevents manganese deficiency in plants.
• MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 used as intervention effectively eliminates manganese deficiency and reduces negative effects of such periodic scarcity. Intervention nutrition is necessary in case of visual symptoms of manganese deficiency on plants or when the results of the analysis of the plant material indicate too low content of manganese (hidden deficiencies).

Manganese supplied in MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 has a positive effect on the size and quality of yield. Manganese in the plant affects and improves the:

• Intensity and efficiency of photosynthesis;
• Growth and development of plants;
• Tolerance to temporary water deficiencies and cold temperatures;
• Biological quality of yield;
• Overall condition of plants;
• Reduces risk of over-fertilisation with nitrogen.

MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 has a very good performance properties including:

• Fast solubility due to the unique structure of ultra-granules;
• Total solubility – a solution formed after reconstitution ultra-granules is precipitation free;
• Very good solubility in cold and hard water;
• No dust during pouring into the tank with water;
• High resistance to external factors during storage (no clumping).

Physical and chemical properties of MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 chelate solutions include:

• The product is stable in the pH range of 3–10;
• Solubility in deionized water – above 1000 g/L;
• EC in deionized water: 0.1 % solution – 0.4 mS/cm;
• pH in deionized water: 0.1 % solution – 5.9.

MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 is approved for use in international organic farming in accordance with regulation (EU) 2018/848 and is listed at www.inputs.bio

1. FERTIGATION (fertilising combined with watering) of crops in inert or organic substrates, in the ground
Specific recommendations (medium composition and the frequency of application) shall take into account the nutritional requirements of plants and agronomic and climatic conditions of cultivation (including the type of substrate). The calculations shall take into account the content of manganese (Mn) in other fertilisers used to prepare the medium and in water used to prepare the medium.

• Fertigation in inert substrates, coconut substrate and hydroponic cultivation (medium supplied continuously or repeatedly during the day).
  Most frequently recommended manganese (Mn) content in a ready to use medium is 0.5–1 mg Mn / L (i.e. 3.85–7.7 g of MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 in 1,000 L). When preparing concentrated solutions, the dose rate of MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 should be increased accordingly.
• Fertigation in organic substrates and in the ground (medium supplied periodically – repeatedly during the vegetation period). When using MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 with other fertilisers in a ready to use medium, do not exceed a total concentration of 0.2% of all ingredients.

2. FOLIAR SPRAYS
MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 is intended for foliar application in the form of an aqueous solution. MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 can be used together with other agrochemicals after conducting a miscibility test. Use MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 as intervention in the case of visual symptoms of manganese deficiency in plants or if too low content of this component in plants has been diagnosed, and also after the occurrence of stress (e.g. after spring frost in orchards). Treatments should be performed every 3–7 days until deficiency disappears. Use MIKROCHELAT^™ Mn-13 preventively in periods and doses given below. The recommendations may be modified taking into account the plants’ requirements and growing conditions.
