IDHA(Iminodisuccinic acid) is a new environmentally friendly chelating agent that can replace traditional chelates.

Chelated trace elements in agricultural applications can organize correction and minimize nutrient deficiencies, thereby increasing crop yields and efficiency. EDTA is well known as a chelating agent that can maintain iron and other trace elements in solution. And therefore often used in agronomic conditions where crop yields are significantly reduced due to iron and other trace elements.

However, issues related to the long-term use of EDTA products deserve increasing attention. Traditional chelating agents such as EDTA or DTPA are not highly soluble and difficult to biodegrade. They generally accumulate in the environment and have been detected in rivers, lakes, soil and water treatment processes. This is why the new biodegradable chelating agent IDHA was developed.
