Typology
Description
Minimum micronutrient content
Micronutrient salt fertiliser
A chemically obtained straight solid inorganic micronutrient fertiliser containing a mineral ion salt as its essential ingredient
10 % by mass of micronutrient salt fertiliser shall consist of a water-soluble micronutrient
Micronutrient oxide or hydroxide fertiliser
A chemically obtained straight solid inorganic micronutrient fertiliser containing oxide or hydroxide as its essential ingredient
10 % by mass of a micronutrient oxide or hydroxide fertiliser shall consist of a micronutrient
Micronutrient-based fertiliser
A straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser combining a micronutrient salt fertiliser with one or more other micronutrient salt fertilisers and/or with a single micronutrient chelate
5 % by mass of a micronutrient-based fertiliser shall consist of a micronutrient
Micronutrient solution fertiliser
An aqueous solution of different forms of a straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser
2 % by mass of a micronutrient solution fertiliser shall consist of a water-soluble micronutrient
Micronutrient suspension fertiliser
A suspension of different forms of a straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser
2 % by mass of a micronutrient suspension fertiliser shall consist of a micronutrient
Micronutrient chelate fertiliser
A water-soluble straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser in which the declared micronutrient is chemically combined with chelating agent(s) fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II
5 % by mass of a micronutrient chelate fertiliser shall consist of a water-soluble micronutrient, and
at least 80 % of the water-soluble micronutrient shall be chelated by a chelating agent fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II
UVCB iron chelates
A water-soluble straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser in which the declared iron is chemically combined with chelating agent(s) fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II
5 % by mass of UVCB iron chelates shall consist of water-soluble iron, and
at least 80 % of the water-soluble iron shall be chelated and at least 50 % of the water soluble iron shall be chelated by a chelating agent fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II
Micronutrient complex fertiliser
A water-soluble straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser in which the declared micronutrient is chemically combined with complexing agent(s) fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II
5 % by mass of a micronutrient complex fertiliser shall consist of a water-soluble micronutrient, and
at least 80 % of the water-soluble micronutrient shall be complexed by a complexing agent fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II
