Plants are interesting living organisms that need vital nutrients to grow and survive - just like animals and humans. Of these, iron is important because it serves as an essential component for chlorophyll - the green pigment in plant foliage that allows photosynthesis to occur. However, plants can encounter problems in some environments e.g. iron deficiency or high pH levels due to nutrient competition for example. Fortunately, a promising solution - Fe EDDHA's influence emerged in recent years and has the potentiality to solve these problems or in all cases augment plant health.

Plant Nutrition 101

To understand the importance of Fe EDDHA in plant nutrition it is necessary to have some knowledge about how the nutrients are working in plants. Fertilizers provide three main macronutrients that the plants require - nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (collectively NPK). Micronutrients Plants also need tiny amounts of micronutrient s - such as iron, zinc magnesium, calciu m and sul fur. When these nutrients are deficient, plants respond by inhibiting optimal performance rather than continuing to grow swiftly despite poor external conditions.

Iron is a micronutrient and plays a major role in multiple physiological processes-photosynthesis, respiration, enzyme activation and protein synthesis are only some of the most important metabolisms that require iron. But, plants can only take up iron in the form of a soluble ion (Fe2+) called Ferrous Iron. The iron in soil of course presents a problem because it can turn to non-available ferric (Fe3+) under oxidative conditions {which basically makes the Fe insoluble and unavailable for plants). Soil pH levels that are too high also make the iron bind in a way that is almost un-useable by plants.
