Description:

What “EDTA chelated” means

EDTA binds (chelates) micronutrient metals and:

• Prevents them from reacting with soil and becoming unavailable
• Keeps nutrients soluble in water
• Improves uptake through roots and leaves

Why EDTA is preferred

• Better absorption
• Less wastage
• Faster visible results

Common nutrients in Mixed Micronutrient EDTA

• Includes a balanced combination of:

1. Iron (Fe-EDTA): for chlorophyll formation, prevents yellowing
2. Zinc (Zn-EDTA): helps growth hormones and enzyme activity
3. Manganese (Mn-EDTA): supports photosynthesis
4. Copper (Cu-EDTA): aids metabolism and disease resistance
5. Boron (B): important for flowering and fruiting

Technical content: Iron (Fe-EDTA) + Zinc (Zn-EDTA) + Manganese (Mn-EDTA) + Copper (Cu-EDTA) + Boron (B)

Key Features & Benefits:

• Corrects micronutrient deficiencies quickly
• Enhances plant growth, flowering, and yield
• Improves leaf color (greener plants)
• Suitable for all crops (vegetables, fruits, cereals, ornamental plants)
• Works well in alkaline soils (common in many parts of India, including Gujarat)

Crops suitability: Suitable for all types of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and flowering plants.

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases): AGRIVENTURE GALAXY used to boost plant immunity and prevent "hidden hunger". They act as a curative and preventive treatment for physiological disorders (non-parasitic diseases).

Mode of entry: Foliar Absorption & Root Absorption

Mode of action:

• Protection Against Fixation: EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) acts as a protective shield around metal ions, preventing them from reacting with phosphorus, carbonates, or hydroxides in the soil, particularly in high-pH or alkaline conditions.
• Enhanced Mobility and Uptake: The chelated complex remains highly water-soluble, allowing it to stay dissolved and easily transported to the root surface, where plants can absorb it efficiently.
• Rapid Foliar Absorption: When applied to leaves, EDTA chelates improve absorption speed and translocation to, or within, plant tissues.
• Improved Bioavailability: The chelate ensures the micronutrients remain in a form that is readily available for physiological and biochemical processes like photosynthesis, chlorophyll production, and respiratory function.

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

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

Additional information:

• Precautions

1. Do not overdose (can harm plants)
2. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline chemicals
3. Store in a cool, dry place
4. Follow crop-specific recommendations, if available
