Abstract
EDTA-chelated or sulphate salts of Mn-Zn-Fe combination were sprayed at different concentrations with or without urea on plants 30 days after sowing in pot experiments. Results showed that mixing urea with chelated and non-chelated micronutrient compounds increased intake of micronutrients in comparison with either micronutrients without urea or control treatment.
It was concluded that adding urea to micronutrient spray solution makes it possible to reduce doses of applied micronutrients, without influencing their effect.
