(Zink (Zn) EDTA 12%)
Crops should have adequate supplies of water and major fertilizers. Spray of ZnEDTA should be carried out during late afternoon or evening times only. Avoid spraying during HIGH TEMPERATURE & STRONG SUNSHINE. If rain falls within 4 hours of spraying, crops should be re-sprayed 3 or 4 days later.
Benefits:
1. Chelated Zinc EDTA fertilizer is compatible with other fertilizers and minerals and is appropriate for use as a preventative measure before a deficiency occurs. It is extremely effective and readily accessible for boosting plant development, resulting in increased yields.
2. Chelated Zinc does not scorch the leaves but helps in better utilization of other nutrients. Chelated Zinc is readily absorbed by roots and easily assimilated within the plant system. In case of Zinc Sulphate, Zinc may accumulate in the soil when reacting with phosphate in the soil or in the plant.
3. Zinc (Zn) is required for the metabolism of plants, enzyme function, and ion transport. The physicochemical involvement of Zn in soil-plant systems. Consequently, inadequate Zn availability in soil is a main consideration for plant nutrition, resulting in a significant loss in production and grain nutrient content.
4. EDTA helps to surround the inorganic nutrient in the plants and ensures the safety of natural nutrients. It gives an organic coating to the crops. With the help of chemical EDTA, chelated forms complexes ensuring stability and growth.
5. Plants require zinc in small but critical concentrations for several key actions, including: membrane function, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, phytohormone synthesis (e.g. auxin), seedling vigor, sugar formation, and defense against disease and abiotic stress factors (e.g., drought).
6. It is used in the formation of chlorophyll and some carbohydrates and is used in the conversion of starches to sugars. Zinc also helps plant tissue withstand cold temperatures. Zinc is essential in the formation of auxins, which help with growth regulation and stem elongation.
7. Zn is an important component of different enzyme catalyzing many metabolic reactions in plants. Zinc also plays a significant role in plant resistance against disease, photosynthesis, cell membrane integrity, protein synthesis, pollen formation and enhance the level of antioxidant enzymes and chlorophyll within plant tissues
