Description:

AGRIVENTURE FERROUS EDTA (Fe-EDTA) is a chelated micronutrient compound where iron ions are bound to EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). It is most widely used in agriculture as a highly bioavailable water-soluble fertilizer to correct iron deficiencies and prevent chlorosis (leaf yellowing) in crops.

Technical content: Ferrous ETDA (Fe-EDTA)

Key Features & Benefits:

• Plant Nutrition: Fe-EDTA typically contains 12% elemental iron and ensures the iron remains stable and available to plant roots. It protects iron from reacting with other soil elements that would otherwise make it insoluble.
• Application Methods: It can be dissolved completely in water and used as a foliar spray or applied directly to the soil and drip irrigation systems.
• Effectiveness: It is highly effective in soils with a pH ranging from 4 to 8

Crops suitability:

AGRIVENTURE FERROUS EDTA (Fe-EDTA)  is beneficial for all crops, but it is highly recommended for those highly susceptible to iron deficiency:

• Fruits: Citrus, apples, grapes, bananas, and pomegranates.
• Vegetables: Spinach, tomatoes, chili, onions, and beans.
• Field Crops: Rice, sugarcane, cotton, and soybeans.
• Ornamentals: Roses, azaleas, and various flower species.

Commonly used for:

AGRIVENTURE FERROUS (IRON) chelated micronutrient fertilizer is primarily used to prevent and correct iron deficiencies (chlorosis) in crops. It promotes chlorophyll production, enhances photosynthesis, and supports enzyme functions critical for plant growth.

Mode of entry: Foliar Absorption & Root Absorption

Mode of action:

• Prevents Nutrient Fixation: EDTA shields iron from reacting with phosphates or carbonates in the soil, which normally cause iron to become insoluble.
• Enhances Absorption: It allows for efficient plant uptake through roots (soil application) or leaves (foliar spray) across a wide range of pH levels.
• Metabolic Support: Once inside the plant, the chelate breaks down, releasing iron to catalyze chlorophyll formation, drive photosynthesis, and activate essential defense enzymes.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray, Fertigation / Drip Irrigation, Soil Drench / Root Application

Dose: 1.5 - 1.7 gm per 1 liter water or 25gm in 15-liter water

Additional information:

• Soil Conditions & Limitations:

1. Ideal Soil pH: Highly effective in acidic to neutral soils (pH up to 6.5 – 7.0).
2. Limitations: In highly alkaline or calcareous soils (pH above 7.0), the iron in Fe-EDTA can precipitate and become unavailable. For soils with a pH \(>7.0\), Fe-EDDHA is recommended instead.
