Traylor Chemical & Supply Co. manufactures all phases of micronutrients
used in the domestic and international fertilizer industry. Howard
Fertilizer has an exclusive distributor agreement with Traylor Chemical,
to supply minor nutrients, such as Trachelene® Granular Iron-Manganese
Chelate to its customers.
An Overview of Trachelene® Granular Iron-Manganese
Chelate
Howard Fertilizer and Chemical Company is pleased
to offer Trachelene® Granular Iron-Manganese Chelate. This product
is designed to address the need for a highly available source of
iron and manganese in Turfgrass and other applications.
What makes Trachelene® Granular Iron-Manganese
Chelate unique?
Trachelene® Granular Iron-Manganese Chelate
is formulated with EDTA forms of iron and manganese. The chelated
iron and manganese remain soluble in a wide range of soil pH’s,
ensuring that nutrients are readily available to plants. This solubility
“protection” enables the iron and manganese to address
any occurring iron and manganese deficiencies, and keeps the nutrients
available in the soil water solution.
• 5% Fe, 2.5% Mn
• Derived from Fe EDTA & Mn EDTA
• Compacted, Homogenous Granule
• -6 +16 particle size
• Bulk Density of 56 lbs per cu ft
Why can I apply less of Trachelene® Granular
Iron-Manganese Chelate as compared to other forms of micronutrients?
• It is a matter of soil chemistry, not
particle distribution
• Chelation protects the metal from becoming insoluble, especially
in higher pH’s
• An oxide is most soluble in a low pH soil
• At lower soil pH’s, where iron & manganese oxide
is most soluble, iron & manganese deficiencies are typically
not present
The pH chart below proves this information. Take
a look at the availability of iron and manganese at low pH’s
as compared to high pH’s:
