What is EDTA Zinc?
EDTA Zinc is a chelated form of zinc micronutrient fertiliser, in which zinc ions are bound within the EDTA molecular structure to form a stable, water-soluble complex. This chelation protects the zinc from being locked up by soil minerals or precipitating out of solution, ensuring the zinc remains in a plant-available form for significantly longer than non-chelated zinc sources such as zinc sulphate, particularly in alkaline or high-pH soil conditions.
Polychem Industries supplies EDTA Zinc to agricultural input companies, fertiliser blenders, and horticultural suppliers across India and internationally. Zinc is an essential plant micronutrient required for enzyme function, chlorophyll synthesis, and overall plant growth, and chelated EDTA Zinc provides one of the most efficient and reliable methods of correcting zinc deficiency in crops.
Available Grades
| Grade | Form | Purity | Standard | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Grade | White to pale yellow crystalline powder | Zn content 14–15% (chelated) | Agricultural / Fertiliser | Foliar sprays, fertigation, soil application, hydroponics |
Applications & Uses
Foliar Fertiliser Sprays
One of the most effective methods of correcting zinc deficiency. EDTA Zinc is readily absorbed through plant leaves when applied as a foliar spray, providing rapid correction of visible zinc deficiency symptoms in field and horticultural crops.
Fertigation & Drip Irrigation
Used in fertigation systems where its excellent water solubility and chelate stability ensure the zinc remains plant-available even when passed through drip irrigation systems, without clogging emitters through precipitation.
Soil Application for Zinc-Deficient Crops
Applied to soil in zinc-deficient regions, particularly in alkaline or calcareous soils where non-chelated zinc would quickly become unavailable to plants, EDTA Zinc maintains zinc availability for extended root uptake.
Horticultural & Vegetable Crops
Used extensively in high-value horticultural and vegetable production where zinc deficiency can significantly impact yield and quality, providing a reliable, fast-acting source of this essential micronutrient.
Hydroponics & Soilless Culture
Used in hydroponic nutrient solutions as the preferred zinc source due to its excellent solubility and chelate stability, ensuring consistent zinc availability throughout the nutrient solution lifecycle.
Fruit & Plantation Crops
Used in fruit orchards, vineyards, and plantation crops to correct zinc deficiency, which commonly manifests as reduced fruit set, smaller fruit size, and characteristic leaf symptoms in zinc-sensitive crop species.
