Mechanism of action of micronized Folanx® nutrients
Mechanism of action of micronized Folanx® nutrients
AMT – Advanced Micronization Technology
The nutrients are transformed into extremely small particles by micronization, which guarantees an optimal matching to the sizes of the stomata on the surface of the leaves.
The microscopically small particles "stick" to the surface of the leaf on account of the natural bonding agents contained in the formulation, where they are gradually reabsorbed in the predominantly acid environment.

Without micronizationThe particles are only coarsely distributed
With micronizationThe particles are very finely distributed
Uptake begins immediately after application and continues over a period of several hours.
Folanx® fertilizers can also be applied to the soil, and deploy their effects there. When applied to the soil, however, care must generally be taken that the effectiveness is not reduced or prevented altogether by soil factors (e.g. solidification of the nutrients or antagonisms).
The mechanism of action of micronized nutrients is illustrated in the graphic below using the example of magnesium carbonate.
