13% EDTA chelated iron

🧪 Product presentation

The 13% EDTA chelated iron offered is a high-quality formulation specifically designed for aquaponic systems. It comes in powder form packaged in one-kilogram sachets. The EDTA chelating agent stabilizes the iron, making it more easily assimilated by plants.

🌱 Iron availability and optimal pH

This EDTA iron operates in a pH range of approximately 4 to 6.5, which is well suited to common conditions in many aquaponic systems. This stability prevents iron from precipitating, ensuring prolonged availability to plants without the risk of chemical lockout.

🍃 Prevention and correction of deficiencies

When plants show signs of yellowing of young leaves, it is often an iron deficiency. Using 13% EDTA chelated iron can correct this type of symptom by restoring chlorophyll synthesis. Foliar application is also possible to accelerate results when deficiencies are already visible.

💧 Aquaponics compatibility & impact on fish

The use of this iron does not affect the pH of the water and is not toxic to fish, making it a suitable solution for integrated systems. It does not alter the water balance when correctly dosed, while maintaining the vitality of plants and aquatic organisms.

🔬 Recommended use and best practices

It is recommended to maintain approximately 2 to 3 mg/L of iron in the system water for optimal plant growth. The product can be applied directly to the water or by foliar application as needed. After adding to the water, turning off the UV lamp for a few hours improves the stability of the chelate, as EDTA iron can be photodegradable. This iron is also authorized for organic farming, which ensures compliance for environmentally friendly crops.
