Select Cu
MENAFERT Select Cu (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, cupric- disodium complex)
Copper (Cu), EDTA chelated 15.0% +/- 0.4%
EDTA, short for ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, is a chelate which protects nutrients against precipitation in a moderate pH-range (pH 4 - 6.5).
It has a similar pH-range to DTPA and the biodegradable IDHA chelate.
The stability constant of EDTA is moderate, though slightly less than the stability constant of DTPA chelate.
Mainly used for nourishing plants in fertigation systems, and as an ingredient for NPKs. EDTA chelates will not injure leaf tissue, which makes the product is also ideal for foliar spraying.
