EDTA Ferric Sodium Micronutrient (Fe 13%) / Chelated Iron (Ferric)

Ferric sodium EDTA is a broad-spectrum molluscicide that is used to kill snails and slugs as well as protect agricultural crops and garden plants, with a focus on Cornu Aspersum, the common garden snail.

Molecular Formulae- C10H12FeN2NaO8

Alternative Names- Sodium Ferric Ethylenediaminetetraacetate

BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS-

• The Chelated Ferric Sodium EDTA fertiliser is compatible with other fertilisers 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.
• Heavy metal traces hinder enzymes, so this method is used to get rid of them.
• It stops enzymes that need divalent cations as cofactors from working.
• It immediately works when applied to a plant.
• It increases the damage caused by reactive oxygen species, such as decreased glutathione depletion, methemoglobin production, and lipid peroxidation.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It works by activating enzymes that help protein synthesis in plants.
• It works in the formation of chlorophyll and the maintenance of starches in sugar plants, which helps crops withstand cold temperatures.

TIME OF APPLICATION-

• It can be applied from seedlings through mid-season applications by irrigation or foliar sprays.

RECOMMENDED USAGE-

• For spraying, the recommended usage is 12% weight by volume.
• For solid application, use 15 kg/acre.

HOW TO USE-

• With Chelated Ferric Sodium EDTA, liquid fertilizer can be safely applied by spraying and side dressing.
• For large areas, use irrigation delivery methods.
