Division 5 The micronutrients referred to in points 2, 3 and 4 shall be declared after the information on macronutrients. The following information shall be provided:
United Kingdom
- (a)
indication of the names and chemical symbols of the declared micronutrients, listed in the following order: boron (B), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn), followed by the names of their counter-ions;
- (b)
the total micronutrient content expressed as % by mass:
-
where those micronutrients are totally soluble in water, only as the content soluble in water;
-
where the soluble content of those micronutrients is at least a quarter of the total content of those micronutrients, as the total content and as the content soluble in water;
-
in other cases, as the total content;
-
- (c)
where the declared micronutrients are chelated by chelating agents, the following qualifier after the name and the chemical identifier of the micronutrient:
-
‘chelated by … (name of the chelating agent or its abbreviation)’, and the amount of chelated micronutrient as % by mass;
-
- (d)
where the organo-mineral fertiliser contains micronutrients complexed by complexing agents the following qualifier after the name and the chemical identifier of the micronutrient:
-
‘complexed by … (name of the complexing agent or its abbreviation)’, and the amount of complexed micronutrient as % by mass;
-
- (e)
where micronutrients are intentionally added, the following statement: ‘To be used only where there is a recognised need. Do not exceed the application rate’.
