AGRIVENTURE FERROUS ETDA CHELATED MICRONUTRIENT FERTILIZER

About AGRIVENTURE FERROUS ETDA Fertilizers

• 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 of AGRIVENTURE FERROUS ETDA Fertilizers

• Ferrous ETDA (Fe-EDTA)
   

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.

Crop & Disease/Pest Mapping

• 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.

Dosage per Acre

• 1.5gm-1.7gm/liter
   

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
   

Additional Information

• Soil Conditions & Limitations:
• Ideal Soil pH: Highly effective in acidic to neutral soils (pH up to 6.5 – 7.0).
• 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.
