EDTA-Cu Powder
HUMICO EDTA-Cu is a chelated form of copper fertilizer, where copper ions are bonded with EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) to enhance their absorption by plants. This formulation prevents copper from binding with other elements in the soil, ensuring its availability to plants, especially in alkaline or high pH soils. EDTA-Cu is effective in treating copper deficiencies, which are crucial for various plant processes, including photosynthesis, chlorophyll production, and overall plant health. It’s commonly used in agriculture and horticulture to maintain optimal copper levels in crops, leading to healthier growth and development.

EDTA-Cu Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of EDTA-Cu involves:
Synthesis of EDTA: Creating the EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) compound through a chemical reaction involving ethylenediamine, formaldehyde, and sodium cyanide.
Copper Chelation: Reacting the synthesized EDTA with a copper salt (like copper sulfate) to form the copper-EDTA chelate.
Purification: Purifying the chelated compound to remove impurities and ensure a high-quality product.
Concentration Adjustment: Adjusting the concentration to achieve the desired percentage of copper in the final product.
Quality Testing: Conducting rigorous quality control tests to ensure the product meets specified standards.
Packaging: Packaging the final EDTA-Cu product for distribution, typically in a powder or liquid form suitable for agricultural use.
This process results in a stable, bioavailable form of copper, essential for addressing copper deficiencies in plants.
EDTA-Cu Solubility
HUMICO EDTA-Cu is highly soluble in water, which ensures that the copper is readily available for plant absorption. This solubility is crucial for effective application, whether it’s used as a soil amendment or as a foliar spray, allowing for efficient and direct nutrient delivery to plants.

Ultimate FAQ to EDTA-Cu
What is the pH stability of copper EDTA?
Copper EDTA (EDTA-Cu) is known for its excellent pH stability. It remains stable and effective in a wide pH range, typically from about pH 4 to pH 9. This stability is a key advantage of using EDTA chelates in agriculture, as it ensures that the micronutrient (in this case, copper) remains available to plants across various soil types and pH conditions. The chelation process prevents the copper ions from interacting with other elements or compounds in the soil that might render them unavailable to plants, particularly in alkaline soils where micronutrient availability can be a challenge.
