1. A method of using a fertilizer composition comprising applying the composition to soil, said composition comprising a mixture of:
about 4% by weight to about 20% by weight of a first source of a target micronutrient comprising said target micronutrient chelated with a chelating agent; and
about 20% by weight to about 40% by weight of a second source of the target micronutrient that is different from said first source, wherein each % by weight is based upon the total weight of said composition taken as 100% by weight;
wherein the fertilizer composition is in the form of a powder and wherein the average particle size is less than about 170 μm for at least about 50% of the particles in the fertilizer composition.
