Industry Development

The agricultural chelate industry has evolved significantly, driven by advancements in chelation chemistry and precision farming. Chelates, which are organic compounds that bind to metal ions, enhance nutrient availability in soil and hydroponic systems. The industry has seen the introduction of various chelating agents, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediamine-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) (EDDHA), and hydroxyethyl ethylenediaminetriacetic acid (HEEDTA). These compounds are designed to improve the solubility and stability of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, manganese, and copper, which are essential for plant growth.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Wednesday 7th May 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
