X - EDTA Chelated Calcium | Ca 9.5%-10.5%
EDTA Ca is a chelating agent that binds to metal ions, making them more available for plant uptake. EDTA Chelated Calcium is particularly useful for delivering calcium and other micronutrients to plants in a stable and absorbable form. Unlike other EDTA forms, EDTA Calcium is less likely to cause nutrient imbalances because it releases calcium, an essential plant nutrient, while chelating other metals.

EDTA chelated calcium is a highly stable and easily absorbed organic calcium compound. Its applications are primarily concentrated in the agriculture, food, and pharmaceutical industries, as follows:
Agriculture
• Calcium supplementation as a fertilizer: Calcium is an essential nutrient for plant growth, participating in processes such as cell wall formation and enzyme activity regulation. EDTA calcium is effectively absorbed by plants and can be used to prevent calcium deficiency-related diseases such as fruit cracking, navel rot (in tomatoes and peppers), and heart rot (in celery and cabbage), thereby improving crop yield and quality. It is particularly suitable for alkaline soils, where it prevents calcium from being fixed and unavailable to plants.
• Foliar spraying or drip irrigation: Foliar application provides rapid calcium replenishment, meeting crop needs during critical growth periods (such as flowering and fruiting). Drip irrigation can improve calcium utilization and reduce waste.
Food and feed
• Food nutrient supplement: Added to some functional foods and beverages as a calcium supplement, it helps replenish calcium in the human body. EDTA Ca is particularly suitable for products requiring calcium fortification, such as infant food and nutritional supplements.
• Feed additive: Used in livestock, poultry, and aquatic feeds to provide animals with easily absorbed calcium, promoting bone development, improving eggshell quality (poultry), and enhancing animal fitness and production performance.
Pharmaceutical field
• As a raw material for calcium supplements: It is used as an active ingredient in some calcium supplements and health products, leveraging its readily absorbable properties to prevent and treat calcium deficiency disorders such as osteoporosis and rickets.
