Chelated micronutrients are widely used in agriculture and are strongly promoted by the fertilizer industry. The word chelated is derived from the Greek word for “Claw”. In fertilizer technology ,it refers to inorganic nutrients that are enclosed by an organic molecule .EDTA is a versatile chelating agent ,i.e it has the ability to “sequester” metal ions. It surround the inorganic iron and forms weak bond with it , effectively giving the nutrient an organic coating. The organic coating around the nutrient allows it to penetrate thought the wax into the leaf. Once in the leaf , the chelate releases the nutrient so that it can be used by plant.We can offer EDTA and EDDHA in variety of grade and compositions based upon the requirements of clients.
