How FulviZyme Helps Plants Eat Better
Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing • September 30, 2025
Nutrients often get “stuck” in the soil. FulviZyme acts like a tiny “nutrient shuttle” that grabs those nutrients and helps deliver them to the plants where they can actually use them.

What is FulviZyme?
FulviZyme is a chelate that has natural “grab points” that hold on to nutrient ions. Think of it as a C-shaped claw that scoops up a nutrient and keeps it from getting locked up in the soil.
How it works:
- Grab
FulviZyme latches on to a nutrient; this “chelation” keeps the nutrient from tying up in the soil so it stays available.

- Carry
Once attached, the nutrient is more mobile in the soil solution. That means it can move toward the plant instead of getting trapped.

- Deliver
At the root surface, the plant can pull the nutrient in more easily. FulviZyme helps at the doorway by supporting the natural pumps and channels the root uses to bring nutrients inside.

Grower Benefits of using FulviZyme
- More of what you paid for gets used
Better availability means higher nutrient use efficiency, especially in challenging pH or high-calcium soils. - Stronger start and steady growth
When micronutrients reach the plant on time, photosynthesis, enzyme activity, and overall vigor improve. - Plays well with others
FulviZyme supports beneficial microbes and root hairs, which further improve nutrient capture. - Do more with less
When plants absorb and use nutrients efficiently, you can often reach goals with smarter programs.
Where FulviZyme shines
- Alkaline or calcareous soils where iron and zinc like to lock up
- Sandy soils where nutrients can leach away
- Cool, wet starts when roots are slow and nutrients stall
- Tissue test programs that call out recurring micronutrient shortages
What you will see in the field
- Healthier color and quicker recovery from stress
- More uniform growth across variable soil pockets
- Better response from the nutrients you are already applying

Rob Cooper, Founder of Living Turf, adds “I have known Phil Dwyer, who is behind the science of ThatchZyme, for thirty years - that was the first major tick of approval for me. Now, having trialled the product, seen the data, and understand what it can do, I am eager to share it with our clients and see what it can do
