EDDHA Fe (Iron Chelate) (CAS 16455-61-1) is an agricultural-grade iron chelate micronutrient fertilizer supplied as dark red to black micro-granules, containing 6% chelated iron mainly in the ortho-ortho isomer form and used to prevent and correct iron chlorosis in high-value horticultural crops. The product contains 6% Chelated Iron , primarily in the "ortho-ortho" isomer form, which ensures long-term stability and rapid absorption. It is a critical Specialty Chemical for preventing and correcting iron chlorosis (yellowing of leaves) in high-value horticultural crops. Our EDDHA Fe is fully water-soluble , making it suitable for fertigation, hydroponics, and soil injection. It maintains its structural integrity where other chelates like EDTA would fail, providing a reliable source of iron for optimal chlorophyll production and plant growth.
