This bond forms a complex that is both stable and soluble. The chelating agent usually forms multiple bonds with the metal ion, creating a ring-like structure. This unique structure of the chelate increases the stability and bioavailability of the metal ion and prevents it from precipitating or becoming inaccessible to plants or

What is often overlooked: without targeted plant nutrition, soil regeneration falls far short of its potential. This is because how much carbon a plant sequesters, how strongly it releases root exudates, and how well it resists pests depends directly on whether its nutrient supply is correct.  <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">Photosynthesis: More than just sunlight and water<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Photosynthesis is the central process through which plants sequester CO\u2082 from the atmosphere and convert it into sugar. What many do not know: photosynthesis requires not only water, CO\u2082, and sunlight, but also a balanced supply of minerals. Magnesium forms the central atom of chlorophyll, manganese activates water oxidation, iron transports electrons in the light reaction, and phosphorus provides the energy for carbon fixation. If even one of these nutrients is missing, photosynthesis runs at a throttled pace \u2013 often far below the plant&#8217;s actual potential.   <\/p>\n<p><!--GRAFIK_PLATZHALTER_PHOTOSYNTHESE--><\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:30px 0;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edapro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/photosynthese-wurzelexsudate-bodenstruktur.png\" alt=\"Photosynthesis and root exudates: The plant sequesters CO\u2082, forms sugar (C6H12O6), and releases it through the roots to soil microorganisms, which in return provide nutrients\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"><figcaption style=\"margin-top:8px;font-size:14px;color:#888;\">Photosynthesis &#038; root exudates \u2013 the key to soil structure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">What plant sap analyses show<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">At EDAPRO, we rely on <strong style=\"display:inline;font-weight:700;\">plant sap analyses<\/strong> to measure the nutritional status of the plant directly \u2013 not via the soil, but in the plant itself. Plant sap analysis measures the nutrients actually available to the plant in the cell sap: macro-elements such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium as well as trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, and silicon. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Our extensive experience with thousands of plant sap analyses shows: nutrient imbalances are widespread \u2013 even on well-managed farms. Common findings include manganese and iron deficiencies, magnesium levels that are too low, deficits in boron, zinc, copper, and silicon, as well as a disrupted ratio of potassium to calcium. As a result, many plants operate their photosynthesis significantly below their potential.  <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">Targeted foliar fertilisation as a quick correction<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Based on the plant sap analysis, we recommend targeted <strong style=\"display:inline;font-weight:700;\">foliar fertilisation<\/strong> with individual nutrients \u2013 exactly where the analysis shows a deficiency. Foliar fertilisers work quickly: the nutrients are absorbed directly through the leaf and are available to the plant within a few hours. In this way, photosynthetic performance can be measurably increased within days.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Typical foliar fertiliser recommendations include iron and manganese to increase photosynthesis, magnesium for chlorophyll formation, boron for sugar transport into the root system, as well as zinc and copper for hormone production and disease resistance. The dosage is calculated individually for each crop \u2013 based on the values measured in the plant sap analysis. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">Compost tea and compost extract \u2013 activating soil life<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Foliar fertilisation and soil biology go hand in hand. <strong style=\"display:inline;font-weight:700;\">Compost tea<\/strong> and <strong style=\"display:inline;font-weight:700;\">compost extract<\/strong> deliver living microorganisms directly into the soil and onto the leaf surface: bacteria, fungal hyphae, protozoa, and other soil organisms that mobilise nutrients and suppress pathogens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Compost tea is actively aerated for 24\u201348 hours and multiplies the microorganisms from high-quality compost. Compost extract is a cold-extracted infusion that is faster to produce and is particularly suitable for foliar application. Both processes complement foliar fertilisation ideally: while the foliar fertiliser corrects the nutrient supply immediately, the compost tea builds up active soil life in the long term, which takes over nutrient mobilisation from soil reserves \u2013 especially for phosphorus and silicon.  <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">More photosynthesis = more carbon in the soil<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">The connection is direct: a plant that is optimally supplied with nutrients performs more photosynthesis, forms more sugar, and releases a larger portion of it into the soil as root exudates. These sugars feed the soil microbiology \u2013 bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, and protozoa \u2013 which in return mobilise nutrients for the plant. At the same time, the sugars glue soil particles into stable aggregates, thus building up the crumb structure and humus.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">Contrary to the common assumption that growing crops inevitably lowers the carbon content of the soil, our experience shows: with targeted management of plant nutrition via plant sap analyses and foliar fertilisation, humus content can be built up even under crops \u2013 while simultaneously achieving higher yields and a lower need for pesticides.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">Less plant protection through better nutrition<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">An optimally nourished plant produces more secondary plant metabolites and builds stronger cell walls. This increases natural resistance to fungal diseases and pests. Plant sap analysis also shows the way here: a high sugar content in the plant sap \u2013 measurable as a Brix value \u2013 correlates directly with the plant&#8217;s resilience. This is because sucking insects and fungi prefer plants with low sugar and high free nitrogen in the leaf.   <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:38px;margin-bottom:14px;font-weight:600;color:#575756;line-height:1.35;\">Our approach at EDAPRO<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">We combine plant sap analyses, targeted foliar fertilisation, and biological soil revitalization with compost tea and compost extract into a holistic system. Every recommendation is based on measured values \u2013 not on blanket formulas. In this way, every franc spent on fertiliser is used where it achieves the greatest impact.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\">For farmers, winegrowers, fruit growers, and vegetable producers, this means: better yields, healthier plants, less pesticide use, and a soil that regenerates year after year.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_class=&#8221;eda-naehrstoff-nav&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row] [vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1684243892777{margin-bottom: 5vh !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7552,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12076","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Buy chelated foliar fertilisers | EDAPRO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chelated foliar fertilisers from EDAPRO \u2013 fast nutrient supply via the leaf for all crops: boron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, iron and more.
