Introduction to Smart Micronutrients

Introduction to Smart Micronutrient technology :

Our “SMART MICRO” technology has introduced a unique concept in fertilizers. This concept for fertilization is the first in the world. 

We design molecules so that they >99% water insoluble but >99% soluble in plant secreted acids through a nutrient release mechanism that is activated by plant root activity. This new nutrient delivery mechanism ensures that the plant gets whatever amount of nutrient it wants at any time it needs it.

The solution is in developing the molecular structure in such a way that it will not dissolve in water but will dissolve in the organics that are secreted by plant roots. Thus the raw materials are all plant 'digestible' food. These compounds serve as miniature stores from which the plant can access the nutrient according to its needs.

Deeper look at how this works :

Release of nutrients from Smart Micros, utilizes the plants’ own mechanism of releasing insoluble micronutrients from the soil matrix. Soils do not contain any significant water soluble micronutrients – they are all bound to the matrix. Roots release various organic molecules (enzymes, phytosiderophores, etc) which chelate the insoluble micros and bring them into solution for further uptake by the plant. (The process is similar to the way in which the digestive systems in humans, is able to solubilize and absorb insoluble foods). This is the usual way in which plant roots are able to dissolve and ‘digest’ nutrients present in insoluble forms in the soil. However, not all insoluble can be ‘digested’ by plant roots. So our approach is to make the insoluble molecules with a certain molecular structure that would allow it to dissolve in root exudates.
