Copper EDTA Manufacturers

Copper EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid CopperDisodium Salt) is a stable, water-soluble chelated micronutrient that provides bioavailable copper to plants and industrial processes. The EDTA acts as a chelating agent, keeping the copper ion non-reactive until it is absorbed or used, preventing precipitation or interaction with other substances.

Used widely in agriculture, horticulture, foodprocessing, and industrial applications, Copper EDTA ensures effective copper supplementation even in alkaline and saline conditions where copper tends to get locked in soil.

Applications of Copper EDTA

Industry	Application
Agriculture	Chelated copper fertilizer for soil and foliar application in micronutrient-deficient crops
Horticulture	Used in greenhouses and nurseries for better leaf color, disease resistance
Hydroponics	Maintains copper levels in water-based plant systems
Animal Feed	Used in veterinary and poultry feed formulations for copper supplementation
Food Industry	As a preservative or stabilizer in some processed foods (under strict regulation)
Pharmaceuticals	In formulations where copper ions are needed without reaction interference
Chemical Industry	Used in plating, catalysts, and dyeing processes
Water Treatment	As a copper source in algicides and fungicides
Cosmetics	Used in trace amounts in mineral-enriched formulations

10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Copper EDTA used for?
It's used as a micronutrient supplement in agriculture and as a catalyst or stabilizer in industrial applications.
How does chelated copper benefit plants?
It prevents copper deficiency, promotes enzyme activity, and enhances photosynthesis and disease resistance.
Can Copper EDTA be mixed with other fertilizers?
Yes, it is compatible with most fertilizers, except those with highly alkaline or phosphate-heavy compositions.
Is Copper EDTA organic?
No, it is a synthetic chelate, though it is widely accepted in conventional and integrated farming.
Is it safe for use in food crops?
Yes, if used as per recommended dosages, and depending on local regulatory standards.
How is Copper EDTA applied to crops?
Through soil drenching, drip irrigation, or foliar spray, depending on crop type and deficiency severity.
Does it have any side effects?
Overuse can lead to toxicity, causing leaf scorching or metal accumulation in soil.
What is the typical dosage?
250–500 gm per acre (soil), or 0.1–0.2% solution for foliar spray. Always follow manufacturer recommendations.
Can I use it in hydroponics?
Yes, it's excellent for controlled nutrient systems like hydroponics or aquaponics.
Where can I buy Copper EDTA in India?
Several reputable manufacturers and exporters based in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu supply Copper EDTA across India and abroad.

Key Points Before Buying Copper EDTA

Factor	Importance
? Purity Level	Choose > 12% copper content for agricultural use
? Chelation Quality	Ensure it’s 100% EDTA chelated, not just copper salt
? Form (Powder vs. Liquid)	Powder preferred for longer shelf life; liquid for easier application
? Compatibility	Should be compatible with other micronutrients and fertilizers
? Regulatory Compliance	Must meet FCO (Fertilizer Control Order) or industry-specific standards
? Storage Instructions	Store in a cool, dry place; moisture may degrade chelation
? Price per Kg	Evaluate price vs. copper content for cost-effective dosing
? Manufacturer Support	Good technical support ensures correct usage and troubleshooting
