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.

    Applications

    Ferric EDTA is used across agricultural and specialty plant-nutrition applications where a stable source of iron is required.

    Micronutrient Fertilizers

    Used as a chelated iron source in micronutrient fertilizer formulations to provide plants with iron required for healthy growth and development.

    Foliar Fertilizers

    Suitable for foliar nutrient formulations where iron needs to be supplied directly to plant foliage.

    Fertigation

    Can be incorporated into suitable fertigation programs to provide a chelated source of iron through irrigation systems.

    Soil Applications

    Used in selected soil-applied micronutrient formulations where controlled iron availability is required.

    Horticulture

    Suitable for horticultural nutrient programs where iron is required as part of balanced plant nutrition.

    Fruit & Vegetable Crops

    Can be incorporated into crop nutrient-management programs where iron supplementation is required.

    Nursery & Ornamental Plants

    Suitable for nutrient formulations used for nursery and ornamental plants requiring supplemental iron.

    Specialty Plant Nutrition
