4.5% Nickel EDTA
Nickel EDTA: The Unsung Hero of Plant Metabolism
Nickel (Ni) is the most recently discovered essential plant micronutrient, needed in very small amounts but playing a vital, often overlooked, role. It is a key component of the enzyme urease, which is critical for converting urea into a usable form of nitrogen for the plant. Without it, urea can build up to toxic levels, causing leaf tip burn and stunting. Our Nickel EDTA is a powerful tool to prevent and correct these deficiencies.
Why choose our Nickel EDTA?
Essential for Nitrogen Use: Nickel is the driving force behind the urease enzyme. A proper nickel supply ensures your plants can efficiently use nitrogen from urea-based fertilizers, maximizing your nutrient investment and preventing toxicity.
Optimal Plant Health: Beyond nitrogen metabolism, nickel is also linked to a plant’s ability to resist disease and tolerate stress. A healthy supply helps plants grow stronger and more resilient, leading to a better overall harvest.
Superior Bioavailability: Our liquid EDTA formulation chelates the nickel, protecting it from getting tied up in the soil. This ensures the nickel remains soluble and is easily absorbed by the plant, providing a rapid and effective solution to deficiency symptoms.
Convenient and Effective: Designed for easy mixing and application, our Nickel EDTA can be applied through fertigation or as a foliar spray, ensuring this crucial nutrient reaches your plants precisely when they need it most.
While not as commonly used as other micronutrients, nickel is essential for certain crops, particularly legumes. It is a component of the enzyme urease, which is necessary for converting urea into a usable form of nitrogen. Nickel EDTA is used for:
Legumes, such as soybeans and other beans
Crops grown in soils with low nickel availability
Give your crops the power of precision nutrition. Try Nickel EDTA today.
