Introduction Liquid micronutrient fertilizers are increasingly used in modern agriculture due to their uniform nutrient distribution, ease of application, and compatibility with fertigation and foliar systems. Zinc is one of the most critical micronutrients for plant metabolism, playing a vital role in enzyme activation, auxin synthesis, protein metabolism, and chlorophyll production. However, zinc availability is […]

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 […]
