Product catalog summary

Iron Chelate EDDHA Overview
This document provides detailed information on Iron Chelate EDDHA, emphasizing its importance in plant nutrition, particularly in high pH soils. The document outlines the benefits of using ortho-ortho EDDHA chelate for iron supplementation in plants.

Importance of Ortho-Ortho
Ortho-ortho EDDHA is highlighted as the most effective form of iron chelate for soil applications, especially in high pH conditions. It remains longer in the soil and helps make iron available to plants through the "Iron shuttle effect."

Soil Application Guidelines

Saplings: 5 – 10 gr/tree
Fruit Trees (Young to High Yield): 10 – 100 gr/tree
Citrus (Mature Trees): 100 – 125 gr/tree
Vineyard: 5 – 10 gr
Ornamental Plants: 300 gr/da
Annual/Perennial Flowers: 350 gr/da
Strawberry, Raspberry: 400 – 600 gr/da
Vegetables: 100 – 150 gr/da
Field Plants: 75 – 125 gr/da

Foliar Application
For vegetables, fruit trees, vineyards, and grass, use 100 – 200 gr/100 liters of water.

Iron's Role in Plant Life Cycle
Iron is crucial for chlorophyll synthesis and various metabolic activities. Deficiency leads to chlorosis, affecting photosynthesis and yield. Iron deficiency can occur due to high lime content in soils, excess irrigation, or high calcium carbonate levels.

Choosing the Right Chelate
EDDHA is recommended for iron application in high pH soils due to its proven effectiveness. It is the only active chelate form above pH level 7.

Available Iron in Mediterranean Soils
Despite iron-rich soils in regions like Italy, Spain, and Turkey, high lime content can render iron insoluble. Regular application of chelated iron is necessary to prevent chlorosis.

Doctoferro 52.5 EDDHA
This product contains a high amount of ortho-ortho isomer, making it highly effective and a cost-benefit choice for iron fertilization. It is suitable for both soil and hydroponic applications.

Chemical Stability of Iron Chelates
The document discusses the stability of different iron chelate types, emphasizing the superior stability of ortho-ortho EDDHA in high pH soils.

According to ortho-para, ortho-ortho chelate can remain longer in soil and bind with unavailable iron to make it available for plants. This is called “Iron shuttle effect” or “effect transporter”. Studies showed that the most beneficial Fe chelate form is ortho-ortho-EDDHA for soil applications. Doctoferro 52,5 EDDHA 6% is a EDDHA product contains high amounts of ortho-ortho. Minimum 88% of iron that product contains, chelated by ortho-ortho isomer. Its availability is very high with minimum 5,25% ortho-ortho content. It is the most logical iron fertilizer choice under cost-benefit analysis. Iron Chelate EDDHA %6 Fe %5.25 ortho-ortho
