Introduction Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for enzyme activation, protein synthesis, auxin production, and chlorophyll formation in plants. Despite its importance, zinc deficiency is common in many agricultural soils, especially alkaline and calcareous types. One of the primary reasons for limited zinc availability is its tendency to form insoluble compounds in soil. Chelation chemistry, […]

Introduction Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for enzyme activation, protein synthesis, chlorophyll formation, and overall plant development. In many agricultural soils, especially alkaline and calcareous types, zinc availability is limited due to precipitation and fixation reactions. Chelation with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid enhances zinc solubility and stability, allowing efficient uptake by plants. Understanding the chemical structure […]
