Product description

Zinc ammonium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA ZnNH4) is a high-efficiency EDTA chelated zinc fertilizer. The product is a light yellow liquid with chelated zinc content 10.0±0.4%, stock solution pH 7.0±1.0, density 1.34±0.01 g/cm³, water insoluble matter ≤0.01%. Using EDTA chelation technology, zinc is in EDTA chelated form, enabling direct crop uptake and utilization with much higher efficiency than conventional inorganic zinc fertilizers.

Product Features

  • EDTA chelation technologyGood stability, not fixed by soil
  • Liquid FormulationConvenient to use, easy to dilute and mix
  • Low impurity contentWater-insoluble residue ≤0.01%, highest purity
  • Fully water solubleDissolves Quickly, No Sediment or Residue
  • Ammonium-Containing FormulaSimultaneously replenishes nitrogen

Area of application

Agricultural nutrients, fertilizers

Application recommendations

Application via drip irrigation (recommended)

Fully water-soluble formula, ideal for protected cultivation and precision agriculture. EDTA-chelated zinc is directly absorbed by plants.

  • Concentration: 0.5–2 mL/L irrigation water
  • Application rate: 0.5 – 2 L/mu/time
  • Frequency: every 10–15 days

Foliar Feeding

Rapidly replenishes zinc deficiency and eliminates its symptoms; especially suitable for fruit trees and vegetables.

  • Dilution ratio: 1:500 – 1:1000
  • Application rate: 30 — 60 L/mu
  • Time: morning or evening, avoid high temperature

Application with irrigation water

Applied with irrigation water, suitable for zinc supplementation in fruit trees, vegetables, and other cash crops.

  • Dosage: 1–3 L/mu/time
  • Dilution factor: 1:100–1:200
  • Timing: key growth stages of crops

Mixing water-soluble fertilizers

Used as a zinc source together with macronutrient water-soluble fertilizers for balanced nutrition.

  • Apply together with water-soluble macronutrient fertilizers
  • Additive: 1–5%
  • Suitable for melons, vegetables, and fruit trees

Suitable crops and recommended dosages

Crop Type Typical crops Drip irrigation application rate Application rate for foliar feeding Application period
Fruit Trees Apple, pear, peach, grape, citrus 1 – 2 L/ha 500–1000 times Bud break, flowering, and fruit set stages
Vegetables Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, leafy vegetables 5–1.5 L/mu 500–1000 times Seedling stage, flowering stage, fruiting stage
Field Crops Wheat, corn, rice, soybean 5–1 L/ha 500–1000 times Tillering stage, stem elongation stage
Application Precautions
  • Store in a cool place, in tightly closed containers, in a dry, well-ventilated room.
  • For foliar application, it is recommended to conduct a small-area spray test to check for phytotoxicity before large-scale use.
  • Compatible with most fertilizers and pesticides, but a small-area trial application is recommended.
  • Before use in drip irrigation, it is recommended to filter the solution to prevent clogging of emitters with impurities.
  • Zinc dosage must be controlled to avoid excess and toxicity.

Frequently asked questions

Typical symptoms of zinc deficiency in plants include:

  • Small LeavesYoung leaves become smaller, rosetting observed
  • Seedling AlbinoismChlorosis and whitening between leaf veins
  • Growth RetardationSlow growth, shortened internodes
  • Poor fruit developmentFruits shrink, quality deteriorates

Common in high-pH soils (calcareous soils), low organic matter soils, or fields with intensive liming.

The main difference lies in the chelated form and formulation:

  • Ordinary zinc fertilizerPresent in the form of inorganic salts (e.g., zinc sulfate), has low absorption rate.
  • EDTA ZnNH4Zinc is in EDTA chelate form, being 'encapsulated' in the EDTA molecule, ensuring good stability, resistance to soil fixation, and direct absorption and utilization by crops.
  • Liquid FormulationEasy to apply, readily dilutes and mixes, suitable for modern precision agriculture.

Store in a cool place, tightly sealed, in a dry, well-ventilated area. Shelf life in original unopened packaging is24 monthsStorage precautions:

  • Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures
  • Prevent leaks or damage to containers
