Zinc EDTA
Zinc EDTA (typically 12% Zn) is a highly water-soluble, 100% chelated micronutrient fertilizer used to correct zinc deficiencies in plants. It acts as a stable source of zinc, enhancing enzyme activity, chlorophyll formation, and protein synthesis, which leads to improved growth, yield, and stress tolerance. It is ideal for soil and foliar applications.
Key Details and Characteristics:
- Composition:Contains zinc (12% minimum) chelated with Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA), a sequestering agent that protects the metal from binding with other elements in the soil.
- Appearance:Usually a white, free-flowing powder.
- Solubility:100% water-soluble, making it ideal for fertigation and spray applications.
- Function:Essential for photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and the synthesis of growth-regulating hormones (auxins).
- Advantages:High bioavailability does not cause foliar burn and ensures rapid absorption by roots and leaves.
- Application:Suitable for soil, foliar spray, and hydroponic systems.
- Dosage:Generally used as a 1 ml/liter or 1 gram/liter solution for foliar spray, or via soil application, ensuring even distribution.
Usage Tips:
- Apply during late afternoon or evening to avoid high temperatures and strong sunlight.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Effectively treats, for example, maize and various crops, preventing yellowing and stunted growth
