EDTA Zn consisting of Zinc metals, is guaranteed 100% “Chelated” with EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid). It is used as a fertilizer to overcome the deficiency of Zinc in plants which require Zinc for their normal growth and higher yields. It translocated easily in the plants.
Mode of Action: Zinc EDTA 12% utilises a chelation process to bind Zinc, ensuring it’s available in the soil for plant uptake. This chelated Zinc is readily absorbed, enhancing enzyme activity for protein synthesis, leading to improved seed quality and maturity. It also supports chlorophyll and carbohydrate production, crucial for photosynthesis and energy. Additionally, it imparts cold tolerance by maintaining cell membrane integrity and aids in the production of growth-regulating hormones, promoting stem elongation.
Dose of Chelated Zinc as Zn-EDTA
Drip irrigation: 500 gm- 1 kg/ acre.
Foliar Application: Dissolve 250 gm to 500 gm of Zinc EDTA in 200 liters of water or 0.5 gm to 1 gm /L of water and spray on both the surface of leaves uniformly in one acre.
Soil application: Mix 500 gm of Zinc with 10 kg soil in one acre.
Benefits of Chelated Zinc as Zn-EDTA
1. It is at least three times more effective than Zinc Sulphate.
2. It easily translocated within the plants.
3. It increases the phosphorous uptake and content of the shoots in plants.
4. It is available to plant system very quickly.
5. Chelated zinc does not scorch the leaves but helps in better utilization of other nutrients.
