ADOB Cu EDTA – 15%

Characteristics

ADOB® Cu EDTA – 15% is a specialty fertiliser, specifically designed to supply highly available copper cations to plants in moderate pH conditions. Owing to a patented production process, ADOB® Cu EDTA – 15% is characterised by several unique properties. The entire concentration of copper in the product (15% w/w) is 100% chelated by EDTA, making it completely effective and fully available to plants. The fertiliser is formulated as fully water-soluble, free-flowing micro-granules without any impurities or dust. Due to the “raspberry” shape of the micro-granules, the product is not hygroscopic and it is self-soluble, with no mixing required. The solubility of the product is 1,200g/l at 20^oC. Since the production process does not include any sulphates, chlorides or nitrates, the material is anion-free. This product serves as an effective source of copper and it is mainly recommended for foliar application, hydroponics and fertigation. It is recommended for preventive and corrective fertilisation in all agricultural and horticultural crops.

Copper functions as a highly active element in redox reactions, participating in photosynthesis, respiration, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and in protection against oxidative stresses. It is crucial for the appropriate lignification process of cell walls, especially the xylem vessels throughout the plant, as well as for pollen formation and seed-set. ADOB® Cu EDTA – 15% ensures a quick correction of copper deficiency and treats the physiological disorders it causes (such as reduced redox activities, distortion of young leaves, bending and twisting of stems and twigs, impaired flower and fruit formation, pollen sterility and reduced seed-set).
