The main pH
problem in hydroponics is a pH drop
if there is too much ammonium
nitrogen. The use of stable iron
chelates such as iron EDDHA or makes
an upward drift in pH above 7 less
of a problem.

EDTA
Cu 15 |

EDTA
or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
is a novel molecule for complexing
metal ions. The unusual property of
EDTA is its ability to chelate or
complex metal ions in 1:1 metal-to-EDTA
complexes. Cu and Zn activate an
enzyme which prevents the breakdown
of plant cells Involved in
metabolism of protein and
carbohydrate.

EDTA
or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
is a novel molecule for complexing
metal ions. The unusual property of
EDTA is its ability to chelate or
complex metal ions in 1:1 metal-to-EDTA
complexes. Fe occurs in the
chloroplast where it participates in
the photosynthesis and metabolism of
N and S, and is involved in the
synthesis of chlorophyll.

EDTA
Mg 6 |
|
Mg has a major
function in the energy transport
system and is an essential
constituent of chlorophyll. Mg
Activates an enzyme which catalyses
incorporation of carbon dioxide in
photosynthesis.

EDTA
Mn 13 |
|
Mn
participates in the release of
energy from energy transferring
molecules and in the breakdown of
plant hormones. Involved in the
nitrogen uptake process it is also
essential in photosynthesis, there
assisting Fe in energy transport.
Bound to EDTA, it is easily
available for absorption by plants.

EDTA
Zn 15 |
|
Zn functions as
a catalyst in many enzyme systems.
Enzymes containing Zn may be
important in metabolism of starch
and nitrogen. Zn controls the
synthesis of the amino acid
tryptophan, which is a precursor to
auxin, an important growth regular.
