X- EDTA Chelated Iron | Fe 13%

Benefits of EDTA Chelated Iron Fertilizer

1. Effectively prevents iron-deficiency chlorosis and safeguards chlorophyll synthesis. Iron is a key auxiliary element in chlorophyll synthesis (although not a component of chlorophyll, it participates in its synthesis). When crops are iron-deficient, leaves exhibit typical"chlorosis"—the veins remain green, while the areas between them lose their green color and turn white (in severe cases, the entire leaf turns yellow, with scorched edges). Photosynthesis is significantly reduced. EDTA iron is rapidly absorbed directly by crop roots or leaves, effectively alleviating and preventing iron deficiency symptoms. It is particularly effective for acid-loving crops (such as citrus, grapes, roses, and vegetables), preventing growth stagnation and yield reduction caused by iron deficiency.

2. Enhance photosynthesis and energy conversion
Iron participates in electron transfer and redox reactions within crop cells. It is a component of numerous enzymes (such as cytochrome oxidase and peroxidase), directly impacting the efficiency of both the light and dark reactions in photosynthesis. Supplementing with EDTA FE promotes photosynthetic electron transfer, increases ATP (energy carrier) production, and enhances carbohydrate synthesis and transport, providing sufficient energy for crop growth and boosting yields.

3. Improves Iron Utilization and Adapts to Complex Soil Environments
Ordinary iron fertilizers (such as ferrous sulfate) are easily oxidized into insoluble iron hydroxide in alkaline soils (pH > 7), soils high in calcium, or soils with high bicarbonate content. This makes it difficult for crops to absorb and has extremely low utilization rates. EDTA iron, on the other hand, is highly stable and resists dissociation over a wide pH range (typically pH 4-9). This prevents it from being fixed in the soil and allows for absorption through roots and leaves. Its utilization rate is far higher than that of inorganic iron fertilizers, making chelated ferric fertilizer particularly suitable for alkaline soils in northern China or for iron-deficient environments such as greenhouse cultivation.

4. Promotes Crop Growth and Quality
Iron is involved in protein synthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and the synthesis of vitamins (such as vitamin C and B vitamins). Adequate iron nutrition promotes new leaf growth and root development, increases nutrient accumulation in fruits (such as sugar and vitamin content in fruits and vegetables), and improves the quality of agricultural products (such as brighter color and better flavor).
