Biomin Iron is a glycine chelated mineral. they are a subset of amino acid chelates. Glycine is the smallest amino acid and it is often used as a chelating agent. Because of its small size, glycine passes through stomates and also through the cell membrane effectively and more easily thean other larger molecules, thus enhancing plant uptake and making it more bio-available to the plant. Comparatively, other chelates cannot pass through cell membranes as the Biomin products do, due to their large molecular size, only passing through large pores when thestomates are open. Biomin products therefore, have the advantage of being more highly available
Iron (Fe)
- Required for chlorophyll production
- Helps with photosynthesis
- Involved in the oxidation process that releases energy from starches and enzymes
- Aids in the formation of proteins
- Involved in the conversion of Nitrate to Ammonia in the plant
- Assists with the reduction of limed-induced chlorosis
- Aids in improving the colour of the red varieties of fruits
