EDTA ZnNa2

General Properties and Industrial Significance:

EDTA-ZnNa₂ is a zinc chelate where zinc (Zn²⁺) is chelated (bound) with EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), and two sodium (Na⁺) ions are used to balance the charge. It’s a highly soluble and stable form of zinc, commonly used in agriculture.
In short, EDTA-ZnNa₂ is a reliable zinc source that ensures efficient uptake by plants, especially in soils where zinc availability is naturally low.

Applications:

• Agriculture (Micronutrient Fertilizer):

1. Used to correct zinc deficiency in crops such as maize, citrus, rice, cotton, and beans.

2. Provides zinc in a chelated form that:

   • Remains soluble and available to plants.

   • Is less likely to get locked in the soil by other minerals, especially in neutral to slightly alkaline soils.

3. Applied through:

   • Soil application

   • Foliar sprays

   • Fertigation

   • Hydroponics

Key Advantages:

• Contains about 12% elemental zinc.

• Works well in pH ranges up to ~7.5.

• Compatible with most fertilizers and agrochemicals.
