What is Sodium Ferric EDDHA?

Sodium Ferric EDDHA (Ethylene Diamine-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) sodium ferric complex) is a highly effective chelating agent used primarily for soil and foliar applications in agriculture and horticulture. It is a complex of iron and the EDDHA ligand, which ensures that iron remains in a chelated form, making it readily available for plants to absorb.

This chelate is particularly valuable in agricultural practices as it helps overcome iron deficiency in crops, especially in alkaline soils where iron availability is limited. The Sodium Ferric EDDHA complex is one of the most stable forms of iron chelates, offering high solubility and efficiency.

Chemical Properties:

• Molecular Weight: 416.26 g/mol

• Density: ~1.0 g/cm³

• Melting Point: Decomposes before melting

• Solubility: Highly soluble in water, especially at neutral to slightly alkaline pH

• Stability: Very stable under a wide range of pH levels (from 4 to 12)

Applications of Sodium Ferric EDDHA:

1. Agriculture:

   • Iron Fertilizer: Sodium Ferric EDDHA is primarily used as an iron fertilizer to correct iron chlorosis in plants. It is highly effective in treating iron deficiency in crops, especially in high pH and calcareous soils where iron is less available.

   • Soil Application: It is commonly applied to the soil as part of fertilizer blends to ensure that crops receive sufficient iron for growth, promoting healthy plant development and preventing yellowing of leaves (chlorosis).

   • Foliar Spray: Sodium Ferric EDDHA is also used as a foliar spray to treat iron deficiencies directly on the leaves of plants, providing rapid absorption of iron by the plant tissues.

   • Horticultural Use: Widely used in horticultural applications for fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants to maintain healthy growth and vibrant color.

2. Hydroponics:

   • In hydroponic systems, where soil is not used, Sodium Ferric EDDHA helps to provide plants with essential iron, preventing deficiencies that may arise in water-based growing systems.

3. Soil Conditioning:

   • It is used in soil conditioners to improve the bioavailability of micronutrients, particularly in alkaline and saline soils, where iron and other essential nutrients are often bound and unavailable for plant uptake.

4. Industrial Applications:

   • Sodium Ferric EDDHA is used in some industrial applications, including water treatment and in chemical formulations where controlled release of iron is required.

Why Choose Sodium Ferric EDDHA?

• High Efficiency: Sodium Ferric EDDHA ensures that iron is delivered to plants in its most available form, allowing for quick and efficient correction of iron chlorosis.

• Stability in Alkaline Conditions: Unlike other iron chelates, it remains stable and effective even in high pH environments, making it ideal for alkaline soils.

• Long-Lasting Effect: The chelate's stability ensures that the iron remains bioavailable to plants for an extended period, reducing the frequency of application.

• Non-Toxic and Safe: Sodium Ferric EDDHA is non-toxic to plants, animals, and the environment when used according to recommended guidelines.

Advantages of Using Sodium Ferric EDDHA:

• Stable Chelation: Ensures iron remains available to plants, even under adverse soil conditions.

• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of crops, including citrus, grapes, tomatoes, and ornamental plants.

• Optimal Iron Absorption: Promotes optimal chlorophyll production and overall plant health, ensuring vibrant growth and high yields.

Safety and Handling:

• Precautions: Sodium Ferric EDDHA should be handled with care. It is recommended to use appropriate protective equipment (such as gloves and goggles) when handling the chemical.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed.

• Disposal: Dispose of according to local environmental and safety regulations.
