Aries Chelamin Plus Chelated Zinc (Zn-EDTA 12%) Micronutrient Fertilizer for Zinc Deficiency Correction

Aries Chelamin Plus is a premium micronutrient fertilizer specially designed to correct zinc deficiency in crops. It contains chelated zinc (Zn-EDTA) with a minimum zinc content of 12%, ensuring efficient absorption and quick availability to plants. Because the zinc is in a chelated (EDTA) form, it stays available to the crop even in difficult soil conditions where plain zinc becomes locked up and unusable.

Zinc is an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in enzyme activation, chlorophyll formation, protein synthesis, and growth regulation. Regular application of Chelamin Plus promotes vigorous root and shoot growth, enhances flowering and fruit set, prevents stunted growth, and improves overall crop yield and quality. It is suitable for foliar spray application across cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, cotton, sugarcane, oilseeds, and plantation crops.

The product comes as a fine, water-soluble powder and meets international quality standards. It is particularly useful in alkaline or calcareous soils, or soils with high phosphate where zinc becomes unavailable to plants. Chelamin Plus can be used as part of a soil-testing-based micronutrient correction programme, helping farmers prevent the common symptoms of zinc deficiency such as stunted growth, leaf yellowing, and small or malformed leaves.

Key Benefits

• Corrects zinc deficiency effectively, preventing stunted growth, leaf yellowing, and small or malformed leaves.
• Promotes healthy root and shoot development for stronger, more vigorous plants.
• Improves photosynthesis and chlorophyll production, keeping foliage green and healthy.
• Enhances flower initiation, fruit set, and seed formation for better yields.
• Increases the size, quality, and overall productivity of produce.
• Chelated EDTA form ensures quick absorption even in alkaline, calcareous, or high-phosphate soils where zinc is normally unavailable.
• Water-soluble powder that is easy to mix and apply as a foliar spray.

How It Works

Zinc is a vital micronutrient that activates several enzymes responsible for plant growth and development. It plays a direct role in chlorophyll formation, which keeps leaves green and drives photosynthesis. Without adequate zinc, plants cannot produce enough chlorophyll, leading to yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and poor flowering.

The key advantage of Chelamin Plus is its chelated EDTA form. Chelation wraps the zinc ion in a protective organic ring that prevents it from reacting with soil particles, phosphates, or high-pH conditions. This keeps the zinc in a soluble, plant-available form for longer. When sprayed on the foliage, the chelated zinc is absorbed quickly through the leaf surface and moves into the plant tissues where it is needed most. This makes it far more effective than ordinary zinc salts, especially in difficult soils where zinc availability is naturally low.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Dosage & Application

Chelamin Plus is applied as a foliar spray. The recommended dose is 50 gm per 50 liters of water (which works out to about 1 gm per liter of water). Adjust the dose depending on the severity of zinc deficiency in your crop.

• Foliar Spray: Dissolve 50 gm of Chelamin Plus in 50 liters of water and spray evenly on the crop.
• Dose Adjustment: Increase the dose if zinc deficiency is severe, based on crop condition and soil test results.

When to Use

Apply Chelamin Plus when plants show early symptoms of zinc deficiency, such as interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between leaf veins) or small new leaves. The most effective timings are:

• At the early vegetative growth stage.
• Before flowering (pre-flowering stage).
• When fruit set begins.
• After soil amendments or when using high-phosphate fertilizers, since phosphates can fix zinc and make it unavailable.

Spray in the cooler parts of the day, either early morning or evening, to avoid leaf burn. For best results, use Chelamin Plus as part of a micronutrient correction programme based on soil testing.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Check the crop for zinc deficiency symptoms such as yellowing leaves, stunted growth, or small malformed leaves.
2. Measure 50 gm of Chelamin Plus powder for every 50 liters of water.
3. Dissolve the powder in a small amount of water first to make a slurry, then add it to the full spray tank.
4. Stir the mixture well to ensure the powder is fully dissolved.
5. Spray the solution evenly over the crop foliage, covering both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
6. Apply in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to avoid leaf burn.
7. Repeat the application if needed, depending on the severity of zinc deficiency and crop response.

Precautions & Safety

• Avoid overdosing, as excess zinc can interfere with the uptake of other micronutrients like iron and manganese and may cause phytotoxicity.
• Spray in cooler parts of the day (morning or evening) to prevent leaf burn.
• Check the pH of water and spray mix, as chelation can degrade in highly alkaline or very acidic solutions.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Keep the product out of reach of children and away from food items.
• Wear protective gloves and a mask while handling and spraying the product.
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling the product.
