Ferric EDTA

Stable Chelated Iron for Effective Agricultural & Specialty Applications

Ferric EDTA, also known as Iron EDTA or Fe-EDTA, is a chelated iron compound in which iron is complexed with Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA). It provides a stable and effective source of iron for agricultural, horticultural and specialty plant-nutrition applications.

Iron is an essential micronutrient involved in chlorophyll formation, photosynthesis, enzyme activity and plant metabolism. Ferric EDTA helps maintain iron in a chelated form and is suitable for use in micronutrient fertilizers, foliar nutrition, fertigation, soil applications and specialty agricultural formulations.
