Zinc - EDTA Chelate

Zinc–EDTA chelate is a micronutrient fertilizer in which zinc is complexed with EDTA  to enhance its stability and bioavailability to plants. Chelation prevents zinc from reacting with soil components, ensuring efficient nutrient uptake by plant roots and leaves. It helps correct zinc deficiency in crops, which is essential for enzyme activity, protein synthesis, and overall plant growth.

Zinc–EDTA is produced by reacting zinc salts with EDTA under controlled pH conditions to form a stable chelated complex. The product is usually supplied as powder or liquid formulation and applied as soil treatment or foliar spray. It is widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and plantation crops such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants to improve growth and yield.

Zinc–EDTA chelate provides higher nutrient availability and better absorption compared with conventional zinc fertilizers. It prevents precipitation and fixation of zinc in soil, ensuring effective nutrient utilization. Only small quantities are required to correct deficiencies, making it economical. The chelated form also ensures uniform distribution and rapid plant response, improving crop productivity and quality.
