FERRIC AMMONIUM EDTA
Ferric Ammonium EDTA is the derivative of Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid. It is widely used as a sequester and bioreagent. It forms stable metal complex with metal ions like calcium & copper. It has excellent oxidative property. It poses high water affinity and thus soluble in any ratio. The main application is found in agricultural sector and fertilizer industries. It enriches the nutritional value in plants and can also be used as chelating agent.
