Abstract: Provided herein are mineral:amino acid complexes wherein the mineral comprises a macronutrient or micronutrient of agrochemical interest. The amino acid may comprise, for example, glycine or lysine. The mineral may comprise, for example, boron. The present disclosure also provides a method of making the mineral:amino acid complexes as well as a method of applying a mineral:amino acid complex to a plant, seed, or soil.

Abstract: A modular premix batching and dispensing system for crop micronutrient application includes a skid-based batching and mixing system with a first dry bin to store a dry mineral sulfate; a second dry bin to store an amino acid; a water source; a reactor having a mixing mechanism and connected with the water source and the dry bins; and a first controller configured to automatically control transfer of water, dry mineral sulfate, and amino acid to the reactor and to control operation of the reactor; and a skid-based day tank system with at least one day tank configured to store mineral amino acid complex received from the reactor; and a dispensing network configured to selectively transfer the mineral amino acid complex to an application receptable. An associated method of preparing and delivering micronutrients using a modular premix batching and dispensing system is also described.
