Chelated Iron EDDHA Fe6% for Plants

Chelated iron fertilizer is a type of fertilizer that primarily consists of iron. Farmers commonly use it to supplement iron deficiency in the soil. This fertilizer promotes healthy plant growth. Its main feature is the combination of iron ions with chelating agents like organic acids or amino acids. This process stabilizes iron in a form that plants can easily absorb. Thus, it increases the availability of iron to plants.

Iron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of chlorophyll and photosynthesis. A deficiency of iron can lead to chlorosis in plants. This condition is particularly evident in new leaves. The use of chelated iron fertilizer effectively prevents and corrects iron deficiency in plants. It facilitates the restoration of green leaves and enhances crop yield and quality.

Features of Chelated Iron

1. High absorption efficiency: Due to the special molecular structure of chelated iron, it can better bind with the carriers in the plant, making it easier for plants to absorb and utilize.

2. Long-lasting effect: The iron in chelated iron fertilizers is not easily lost in the soil, thus having a longer lasting effect, which can provide plants with a continuous supply of nutrients.

3. Soil-friendly: The iron in chelated iron fertilizers exists in a chelated form, which will not cause pollution or harm to the soil.

4. Promotes plant growth: Since chelated iron fertilizers can provide plants with sufficient iron, they promote photosynthesis and growth in plants.

Application

1. Soil improvement: EDDHA-Fe 6% is suitable for soils with a pH value of 3-9, helping to stabilize beneficial components in the soil, reduce loss, regulate soil acidity and alkalinity, and prevent soil hardening.

2. Supplementing plant nutrition: It can quickly provide the iron elements needed by crops, addressing symptoms caused by iron deficiency, such as yellow leaf syndrome, thereby increasing crop yield and improving crop quality.

3. Enhancing plant resistance: The use of EDDHA-Fe 6% can enhance plants’ disease resistance and stress tolerance, promoting early maturity of crops.

4. Foliar application: It can be used as a foliar fertilizer by diluting and spraying it on the plant leaves to provide iron nutrition to the plants.

5. Drip irrigation and flushing: It is suitable for drip irrigation systems and flushing application, being periodically applied through irrigation water to achieve iron supplementation effects.

6. Raw material for organic fertilizers: EDDHA-Fe 6% can be used as an additive for organic fertilizers, suitable for producing foliar fertilizers, flushing fertilizers, drip irrigation fertilizers, etc.

7. For ornamental plants and cash crops: It is applicable to various iron-deficient crops, including fruit trees, ornamental plants, forest trees, legumes, and cereal crops.

8. Prevention and treatment of plant yellowing disease: EDDHA-Fe 6% has the effect of improving iron-deficiency chlorosis in plants, helping to prevent and treat yellow leaf diseases.

When using, it is important to avoid spraying in high temperatures and sunlight, and do not spray other iron fertilizers after application. Due to EDDHA-Fe 6%’s strong solubility, it can easily absorb moisture and clump, but this does not affect its quality.
