CHAPTER A FERTILIZERS CONTAINING ONLY ONE TRACE ELEMENT Note 1: A chelating agent may be designated by means of its initials as set out in Chapter E. Note 2: If the product leaves no solid residue after being dissolved in water, it may be described as 'for dissolution'. Note 3: Where a trace element is present in a chelated form, the pH range guaranteeing acceptable stability of the chelated fraction shall be stated. 1.2.3.4.5.6 // // // // // // // No // Type designation // Data on method of production and essential ingredients // Minimum trace-element content (percentage by weight) Data on the expression of nutrients.
