Microelements refer to nutrients that plants require in very small amounts, yet they play a major role in plant growth and development. Iron helps prevent leaf yellowing, manganese promotes photosynthesis, zinc strengthens root systems, boron supports flowering and fruiting, while copper and molybdenum help enhance plant resistance. Together, they act like a “nutrition shot” for durian trees.

However, due to geographical and climate differences, the microelements found in different areas may vary. As a result, plants often experience microelement deficiencies.

The Secret of Amino Acid Chelation

To help plants replenish microelements more quickly, chelated microelements are used. After being dissolved in water, they can be sprayed onto the leaves. Chelates are formed by combining microelements with chelating agents, similar to how a bird’s beak or a crab’s claws “hold” onto an ion. This allows each microelement to be delivered directly to the part of the plant that needs it.

A-MICRO TURBO is a new amino acid chelated microelement product introduced by Advansia Seeds. Besides containing iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, copper, boron, and molybdenum, the most important feature of A-MICRO TURBO is that it uses natural chelated amino acids.

Because amino acids are among the smallest chelating molecules, they can move quickly and are easily absorbed by plants. Even under less favourable conditions, they can still maintain high efficiency.

Leaves Turn Greener and Brighter After Spraying

A durian grower from Gua Musang, Mr. Wong, sprayed A-MICRO TURBO and found that the durian tree effectively reduced the problem of microelement “hunger”. As a result, the leaves became oily green and looked brighter.

The recommended dosage of A-MICRO TURBO is 20g dissolved in 20 litres of water and sprayed evenly on the leaf surface.
