Copper EDTA (CAS 14025-15-1) is a water-soluble chelated micronutrient in which copper is bound to an EDTA ligand, supplied as a light blue to blue solid powder for foliar sprays, fertigation programs and livestock feed premixes. The EDTA chelation ensures that copper remains available to plants even in alkaline soil conditions.
This stable, blue powder is highly soluble in water, making it perfect for foliar sprays and irrigation systems. Its purity prevents crop phytotoxicity while effectively correcting copper deficiencies in various soils.
In the animal nutrition industry, it is a stable source of copper for fortifying feed premixes. Its chemical stability across a broad pH range makes it a superior choice for complex nutritional products.
