Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese EDTA 14% Water Soluble Micro Nutrient

Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese – Precision Micronutrient Support for Healthy Plant Growth

Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese is a highly soluble, plant-available micronutrient designed to correct and prevent manganese deficiencies in hydroponic systems and soil-based growing environments. Formulated with chelated manganese (Mn), this product ensures optimal nutrient uptake and stability across a wide pH range, making it an essential addition to any balanced nutrient regimen.

Key Features:

• Chelated for Maximum Bioavailability: The chelated form of manganese prevents nutrient lockout and enhances absorption, even in challenging pH conditions.

• Essential for Chlorophyll Production: Manganese plays a critical role in photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and overall plant metabolism.

• Promotes Strong, Healthy Growth: Supports vigorous root development, leaf expansion, and improved resistance to environmental stress.

• Hydroponic & Soil Compatible: Ideal for use in hydroponics, coco coir, soil, and all types of cultivation systems.

• Easy to Use: Mixes cleanly with nutrient solutions without clogging lines or emitters.

Application:
Use as directed based on plant growth stage and specific crop needs. Suitable for Foliar feeding, Nutrient Solutions, Hydroponics or other root-zone application.

Symptoms

Symptoms of manganese deficiency include: Leaves turning pale green between the veins, and possibly brown and die. In citrus, little leaf cannot be corrected with manganese. Manganese deficiency can lead to significant yield loss. 

Plants generally push magnesium to new growth and old leaves develop pale green color, with manganese it is the opposite.

Benefits
 
Manganese is essential for photosynthesis, where it facilitates the splitting of water molecules and provides energy. Manganese activates enzymes involved in growth processes and helps convert nitrate into a form that plants can use. Manganese also assists iron in the formation of chlorophyll. In addition Manganese is required for the synthesis of lignin, which strengthens cell walls. Manganese is also essential for root growth.

Chelation prevents reactions with other nutrients and enhances the absorption and utilization of rate in all plants.

Dosing is being updated

Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese Dosing PDF

(1 g = 50 ppm Mn)

Stock Solution
Dissolve 100 grams (3.53 oz) of Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese EDTA 14% 
in 1 gallon of distilled water
1 fl oz (29.57 mL) = 0.78 grams of dry product
1 fl oz = 109 ppm Mn

Foliar
Use 0.25–0.5 grams per gallon
Use 1–2 tsp per gallon of concentrate
(5–10 mL of concentrate = 13–26 ppm Mn)

Pots and Containers
Small pots: 0.05–0.1 g/gal (1–2 mL per gallon concentrate)
Large pots: 0.1–0.25 g/gal (2.5–6 mL per gallon concentrate)

Drench (5 gallons of water)
Maintenance Feeding: 0.25–0.5 grams (5–10 mL or 1-2 tsp concentrate per 5 gallons)
Defeciency Correction: 1–2 grams (20–40 mL or 1.3-2.7 tbsp per 5 gallons)

Hydroponics
Target: 2-5 ppm (mn/Gal) of manganese. Do not exceed 5ppm
2.5 ppm Mn  0.70 grams of Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese EDTA 14% per gallon
5 ppm Mn = 1.35 grams of Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese EDTA 14% per gallon

Start at 2–3 ppm Mn (0.5–0.8 g/gal) for general use or regular feeding.

Use 4–5 ppm Mn (1.0–1.35 g/gal) if plants show signs of deficiency such as interveinal chlorosis on younger leaves, or if you are feeding citrus.

Manganese is consumed regularly, a top up of 1/4 gram per gallon per week is sufficient for established plants.

Fertigation

Example:
Dissolve 53.7 g (1.89 oz) of Boca Hydro Chelated Manganese 14%  in 1 gallon of water.
Inject at 1:100 to deliver 5ppm Mn in irrigation water.

To make 10 Gallons of 100x stock solution ( For injectors set at 1:100 dilution):

Additional 5ppm MN injection rates

Frequency: Every 7-14 days during active growth or as deficiencies are identified.
