Organic molasses also works as a chelating agent, or organic stimulant, to convert the soil's tied-up nutrients into a form that's easily accessible to plants. Chelated minerals can be absorbed directly and remain available and stable in the soil. Chelates are known for their ability to unlock the potential of fertilizers, and many farmers are successfully using chelating agents, like organic molasses, to increase the efficiency of their current fertilizer and enable dramatic cuts in normal levels of fertilizer application requirements.
