EDDHA Fe 6% Micronutrient Fertilizer: Advanced Iron Chelate for Correcting Iron Deficiency
EDDHA Fe 6% is a highly effective chelated iron micronutrient fertilizer designed to correct iron deficiency in crops, especially in alkaline and calcareous soils where conventional iron fertilizers become ineffective. The EDDHA (Ethylenediamine-N,N’-bis(2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid)) chelation technology protects iron from soil fixation, allowing plants to absorb it efficiently for a longer duration.
Iron plays a critical role in chlorophyll formation, photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and overall plant metabolism. When crops suffer from iron deficiency, leaves turn yellow while veins remain green (interveinal chlorosis), resulting in reduced growth and yield. EDDHA Fe 6% delivers highly stable iron even at high soil pH levels (up to pH 9), making it one of the most reliable solutions for long-term iron nutrition in crops such as grapes, pomegranate, citrus, vegetables, and fruit crops.
Due to its superior stability and soil mobility, EDDHA Fe provides quick recovery from chlorosis and promotes healthy green foliage, improved photosynthesis, and higher productivity.

Features and Benefits
Corrects Iron Chlorosis
Provides readily available iron to plants and quickly corrects yellowing of leaves caused by iron deficiency.
Highly Stable in Alkaline Soils
EDDHA chelation protects iron from precipitation in high pH and calcareous soils, ensuring long-lasting availability.
Improves Chlorophyll Formation
Enhances chlorophyll synthesis which improves photosynthesis and plant vigor.
Promotes Healthy Plant Growth
Encourages strong vegetative growth, greener foliage, and improved nutrient metabolism.
Better Yield and Crop Quality
Proper iron nutrition improves fruit development, crop quality, and overall yield.
Efficient Nutrient Uptake
Chelated form allows easy absorption through roots and efficient transport inside the plant.
Mode of Action
EDDHA chelate binds iron ions and protects them from reacting with soil minerals. This prevents iron from becoming unavailable in alkaline soils. The chelated iron remains soluble and accessible to plant roots, enabling efficient uptake and transport within the plant system.
Once absorbed, iron supports enzymatic reactions, chlorophyll synthesis, and metabolic activities required for plant growth and productivity.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Deficiency Symptoms Controlled | Dosage / Acre | Application Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | Iron Chlorosis | 250 – 500 g | Soil application / Drip |
| Pomegranate | Yellow leaves due to iron deficiency | 250 – 500 g | Soil application |
| Citrus | Interveinal chlorosis | 250 – 500 g | Soil application |
| Vegetables | Iron deficiency chlorosis | 100 – 250 g | Soil or drip |
| Field Crops | Nutrient imbalance | 100 – 250 g | Soil application |
Water Requirement: Apply with adequate irrigation or through drip fertigation.
