• AGRIVENTURE COPPER EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) is a chelated micronutrient used primarily in agriculture.
• It binds copper ions to prevent them from reacting with other elements in soil, making the metal highly bioavailable and readily absorbed by plants through their roots and foliage.
   

Key Features & Benefits

• Deficiency Correction: Prevents copper deficiency, which causes stunted growth, discolored leaves, and poor fruit yield.
• Plant Metabolism: Essential for chlorophyll formation, photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis.
• Disease Resistance: Strengthens plant cell walls and enhances natural defense mechanisms against fungal spores.
• Quality Enhancement: Intensifies flavor and coloration in vegetables and flowers.

Mode of Action

• Copper EDTA uses a ""chelation"" process (where EDTA acts as a protective carrier) to deliver copper directly to the plant cells. Once inside, its mode of action unfolds in four primary ways:
• Enzyme Activation: It acts as a vital cofactor for numerous metabolic and defense enzymes (e.g., ascorbic acid oxidase and cytochrome oxidase), which regulate plant growth and development.
• Photosynthesis & Chlorophyll: Copper is essential for chloroplast formation and electron transport during photosynthesis, directly improving green, healthy leaf development and preventing chlorosis.
•     Protein & Carbohydrate Metabolism: It facilitates nitrogen fixation and the metabolism of carbohydrates, boosting overall dry matter accumulation.
• Structural Integrity & Disease Resistance: Copper is heavily involved in the strengthening of cell walls. It also stimulates the production of phytoalexins (defense compounds), helping the plant naturally ward off fungal and bacterial pathogens.
   

Crop & Disease/Pest Mapping

• AGRIVENTURE COPPER EDTA is universally beneficial for a wide spectrum of agricultural and horticultural crops.
• High Copper Demand Crops: Highly responsive crops that demand more copper include cereals (wheat, rice, corn), vegetables (tomatoes, spinach, beans, onions, lettuce), and fruits (citrus, apples, grapes).
• General Broad-Spectrum: It is also broadly suitable for soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, and ornamental flowers.
   

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.
