• AGRIVENTURE CALCIUM EDTA (often called edetate calcium disodium) is a synthetic compound that acts as a powerful metal-binding agent (chelator).
• It is primarily used in medicine to treat severe heavy metal poisoning, and in agriculture and food manufacturing to preserve quality and improve nutrient absorption.

Key Features & Benefits

• Write Key Features & BenefitsStructural Plant Integrity: Calcium is a building block of plant cell walls. Chelated Calcium EDTA ensures the nutrient is easily absorbed to support strong cell membranes, promoting proper plant development and structural resilience.
• Prevention of Deficiency Disorders: It rapidly corrects and prevents common calcium deficiencies like blossom-end rot (in tomatoes and peppers), tip burn, and premature flower or bud drop.
• Enhanced Shelf Life: By maintaining fruit firmness and cell wall strength, Calcium EDTA extends the storage capacity and durability of agricultural produce during transportation, thus increasing commercial value.
• Improved Nutrient Efficiency: It aids in the uptake of other essential elements like ammonium, potassium, and phosphorus.
• Stress Tolerance: It helps make plants more resistant to physical damage, fungal/bacterial diseases, and environmental stress.
   

Mode of Action

• Protection from Lockout: In typical agricultural soils, especially those with high pH, calcium ions readily form insoluble compounds. EDTA chelates the calcium ion to keep it in a highly bioavailable state.
• Enhanced Plant Uptake: The chelated complex remains electrically neutral and inert, allowing the nutrient to be easily absorbed by plant roots (via fertigation/soil application) or leaf stomata (via foliar spray).
• Systemic Mobility: Once absorbed, the Calcium EDTA complex translocate easily through the plant's vascular system, safely delivering the calcium to rapidly growing meristematic tissues and developing fruits
• Nutrient Release: Upon reaching the target plant cells, the calcium is released for metabolic use, while the remaining EDTA molecule is naturally processed or broken down by the plant.

Crop & Disease/Pest Mapping

• Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants (prevents blossom-endrot); leafy greens like lettuce and cabbage (prevents tip burn).
• Fruit & Tree Crops: Apples (prevents bitter pit), citrus, grapes, and strawberries (improves firmness and shelf-life).
• Field Crops: Cotton, maize, wheat, and pulses.a

Dosage per Acre

• 1.5gm-1.7gm/liter
   

Additional Information

• It is highly recommended for soils susceptible to nutrient lock-out, such as:
• Alkaline Soils: High pH causes native copper to become insoluble.
• Sandy/Leached Soils: Naturally low in copper.
• High Organic Matter Soils: Binds free copper, making it unavailable to roots.
• Toxicity Warning: Copper EDTA is highly persistent in the environment.
• Care should be taken not to over-apply, as excessive amounts can lead to bioavailability spikes causing phytotoxicity (metal toxicity) in plants.
