Stable micronutrient complex for use in agricultural applications

A method of spraying an agricultural admixture, comprising:

• admixing an admixture comprising citric acid, an organic amine, boron, zinc, at least one additional micronutrient, sulfuric acid, and a saccharide with a pesticide;
• and
• spraying the admixture,
• wherein the citric acid and the organic amine chelate with the boron, the zinc and the at least one additional micronutrient to thereby prevent the boron, the zinc and the at least one additional micronutrient from forming an insoluble solid,
• wherein the boron is present in an amount of at least 1.0 wt % of the admixture and the boron is derived from boric acid present in the admixture,
• wherein the zinc is present in an amount of at least 2.2 wt % of the admixture and the zinc is derived from zinc oxide present in the admixture, and
• wherein the admixture contains a total boron, zinc and at least one additional micronutrient content of at least 7.2 wt %,
• wherein at least zinc ions in the zinc oxide are made available for uptake by the presence of the citric acid and the sulfuric acid, and
• wherein the admixture is a solution and remains stable by being non-precipitated for at least 60 days.

A method of producing an agricultural admixture, comprising:

• admixing an admixture of citric acid, an organic amine, boron, zinc, at least one additional micronutrient, sulfuric acid, and a saccharide with one or more agricultural chemicals,
• wherein the boron is present in an amount of at least 1.0 wt % of the admixture and the boron is derived from boric acid present in the admixture,
• wherein the zinc is present in an amount of at least 2.2 wt % of the admixture and the zinc is derived from zinc oxide present in the admixture, and
• wherein the agricultural admixture contains a total boron, zinc and at least one additional micronutrient content of at least 7.2 wt %,
• wherein the citric acid and the organic amine chelate with the boron, the zinc and the at least one additional micronutrient to thereby prevent the boron, the zinc and the at least one additional micronutrient from forming an insoluble solid,
• wherein at least zinc ions in the zinc oxide are made available for uptake by the presence of the citric acid and the sulfuric acid, and
• wherein the admixture is a solution and remains stable by being non-precipitated for at least 60 days.
