Nutrifeed Zn EDTA 12% is a specialty fertilizer specifically designed to supply highly available zinc cations to plants in moderate pH conditions. It is characterized by several unique properties.The entire concentration of zinc in the product (12% w/w) is 100% chelated by EDTA, making it completely effective and fully available to plants.
Zinc is present in a large variety of enzymes, where it contributes to maintaining their structural stability. Additionally, zinc works as an external activator for other important enzymes and is also involved in a number of important functions in DNA and RNA metabolism, cell division and protein synthesis. It is crucial in the metabolism of the auxin indole-acetic acid (IAA), which enhances the apical growth of plants. Zinc deficiency is widespread among plants grown in highly weathered acid soils and in calcareous soils. In the latter case, zinc deficiency is often associated with iron deficiency (lime chlorosis). The low availability of zinc in high pH calcareous soils is mainly due to the adsorption of zinc to clay or CaCO3. Deficiency is also common after excessive soil application of P fertilizers, which fix the Zn to an insoluble form.
