Introduction Zinc deficiency is one of the most common micronutrient problems in alkaline and calcareous soils. These soils are characterized by high pH, significant calcium carbonate content, and strong buffering capacity, all of which reduce zinc solubility and plant availability. Under such conditions, conventional zinc fertilizers often become rapidly immobilized. EDTA chelated zinc has been […]

Introduction Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for numerous physiological functions in plants, including enzyme activation, protein synthesis, auxin metabolism, and chlorophyll formation. However, zinc availability in soil is strongly influenced by pH and chemical interactions with soil components. In many agricultural systems, particularly those with alkaline or calcareous soils, zinc becomes poorly soluble and […]
Introduction Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for enzyme activation, hormone regulation, protein synthesis, and chlorophyll formation in plants. However, zinc availability in soil is often limited due to precipitation, adsorption, and fixation reactions, particularly in alkaline and calcareous conditions. EDTA chelated zinc has been developed to overcome these limitations by maintaining zinc in a […]
