Micronutrients • Chelation • Yield + Quality

Mahafeed: Trust in Yield Growth through Balanced Micronutrient Nutrition
Mixol-D (CA Chelated) & Ferozinc

Modern agriculture isn’t just about producing more—it’s about balancing yield, quality, sustainability, and profitability. Micronutrient deficiencies (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B) are increasingly common across soil types and can quietly crush productivity if not corrected in time. Mahafeed’s Mixol-D (CA Chelated) and Ferozinc are built to fix that—fast, reliably, and efficiently.

Why Balanced Micronutrient Nutrition Is Now Non-Negotiable

Primary nutrients (NPK) build the base—but micronutrients control the fine machinery of plant growth: enzyme activity, chlorophyll formation, hormone balance, flowering, and fruit development. Without proper micronutrient management, crops often show hidden hunger first, then visible damage later.

Today, deficiencies of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and boron (B) are increasingly observed across different soils. If corrections are delayed, productivity and quality take a direct hit.

Hard truth: Many “mystery yield losses” are micronutrient problems in disguise—especially when soils are alkaline, saline, or under intensive cultivation.

Common Micronutrient Deficiencies and What They Do to Crops

When key micronutrients are missing, the plant’s internal systems slow down—photosynthesis drops, growth becomes uneven, flowering suffers, and fruit setting weakens.

Fe: chlorophyll Zn: hormones (auxin) Mn: metabolic enzymes Cu: plant defense B: flowering + fruiting

Correcting these in time is the difference between “average crop” and “market-winning crop”.

Mahafeed’s Micronutrient Solutions

Mixol-D (CA Chelated)

Complete micronutrient combination: Fe + Mn + Zn + Cu + B (Citric Acid Chelation)

Mixol-D is a complete micronutrient blend containing iron, manganese, zinc, copper, and boron in CA Chelated (Citric Acid Chelation) form—built to keep nutrients stable, reduce fixation, and ensure high availability even in alkaline and saline soils.

Why CA chelation matters: Chelation helps keep micronutrients in a plant-available form, especially in difficult soil conditions where nutrients often get locked up.

Key advantages

  • Stable nutrient availability and reduced fixation in soil
  • High availability even in alkaline and saline conditions
  • Suitable for drip irrigation for direct root-zone absorption
  • Long-lasting effect and more uniform growth

Field-visible improvements

  • Quickly corrects leaf yellowing
  • Helps control tip burn and flower drop
  • Improves root development and nutrient translocation
  • Supports consistent yield and quality improvement

Ferozinc

Dual-action balanced combination: Iron (Fe) + Zinc (Zn)

Ferozinc is a dual-action balanced combination of iron and zinc, solving two critical crop needs in a single product. It is designed for rapid deficiency correction and improved crop performance from vegetative to reproductive stages.

How it works (simple and real)

  • Iron (Fe) improves chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis, leading to greener leaves
  • Zinc (Zn) supports auxin hormone production, improving shoot growth, flowering, fruit setting, and disease resistance

Benefits farmers notice

  • Rapid correction of iron and zinc deficiencies
  • Prevents stunted growth and improves shoot development
  • Increases number and size of flowers and fruits
  • Enhances yield and produce quality directly
Practical selection: Use Mixol-D when you need broad-spectrum micronutrient correction (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B). Use Ferozinc when the main limitation is iron + zinc performance and fast greening + growth response is needed.

What Farmers Can Expect: Yield, Quality, and Better Returns

With years of expertise in high-quality water-soluble fertilizers, micronutrients, and biostimulants, Mahafeed’s Mixol-D and Ferozinc represent a farmer-focused approach to crop nutrition: correcting deficiencies quickly, improving plant balance, and protecting yield and quality under modern stress conditions.

Uniform vigorous growth
Better nutrient movement + balanced development
Better flowering & setting
Supports reproductive performance and retention
Greener leaves
Improved chlorophyll and photosynthesis output
Higher economic returns
Less loss + improved quality = better price

The result is a balanced, technology-driven pathway to improved crop health, higher productivity, and better profitability—without turning micronutrients into guesswork.

FAQs

NPK supports bulk growth, but micronutrients run critical processes like chlorophyll formation, enzymes, and hormones. In alkaline/saline soils or intensive cropping, micronutrients often get fixed or depleted, causing hidden hunger and then visible symptoms.

Choose Mixol-D when multiple micronutrients are likely missing (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B), especially in alkaline or saline soils, or when uniform correction is needed through drip/root-zone feeding.

Ferozinc combines iron and zinc to deliver fast greening, stronger shoot growth, improved flowering/fruit setting, and better resistance—ideal when Fe+Zn deficiency is the major limiter.

Yes. Mixol-D is designed to work effectively through drip irrigation for direct root-zone absorption and longer-lasting results. (Always follow the product label and crop-specific recommendations for dose and timing.)

Typically: greener leaves (better chlorophyll), improved shoot growth, stronger flowering and fruit setting, reduced stunting, better fruit size/count, and overall yield and quality improvement.

Final Takeaway

Micronutrients decide whether your crop runs smoothly or struggles silently. Mahafeed’s Mixol-D (CA Chelated) and Ferozinc offer a clean, modern, reliable way to correct deficiencies, protect yield and quality, and improve profitability—especially under challenging soil and climate conditions.
