Yates Liquid Copper Chelate

Yates Liquid Copper Chelate

Yates Liquid Copper Chelate is an easy-to-use liquid trace element for your plants if they have a copper deficiency. You can easily detect copper deficiency as plants begin showing yellow on younger leaves and die-back of tips in young shoots. The copper deficiency in plants is more common in sandy or acidic soils than in clay soils. So, it provides the copper that these plants need. It is recommended to apply this chelate as a foliar application that delivers copper directly to the deficient leaves for optimum results. It also means that there will not be a waste of this solution if you apply it to foliage rather than soil. We also have Yates Liquid Magnesium Chelate and Yates Liquid Iron Chelate in our product range.
