Krizinc-Edta (Chelated Zinc 12%): Premium Micronutrient for Higher Yields | Krishi Rasayan
Unlock the full potential of your crops with Krishi Rasayan's advanced Zinc solution.
Krizinc-Edta is a high-performance, 100% water-soluble micronutrient powder containing 12% Chelated Zinc. Unlike standard Zinc Sulphate that often gets locked in the soil, Krizinc-Edta uses advanced technology to remain stable and bio-available.
Best For: Correcting yellowing leaves, stunted growth (rosetting), and boosting fruit quality in alkaline or zinc-deficient soils.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Instant Absorption: 100% water-soluble formula ensures the plant absorbs zinc immediately through leaves or roots.
-
🛡️
High Efficiency: Provides >90% use efficiency compared to <20% for ordinary Zinc Sulphate.
-
⏳

How It Works: Mode of Action
Zinc is essential for plant hormones and enzymes. Krizinc-Edta uses a "Chelation" process where the Zinc particle is wrapped in a protective organic coating (EDTA).
[Image of Zinc EDTA chelation mechanism diagram]- Protection: The EDTA claw prevents the Zinc from reacting with soil phosphates or hydroxides, ensuring it doesn't get "fixed" or wasted in the soil.
- Transport: The neutral electrical charge allows the nutrient to move freely through the soil solution and penetrate leaf surfaces easily.
- Activation: Once inside, it immediately triggers the production of Auxins (growth hormones) and enzymes needed for photosynthesis and protein synthesis.
This mechanism makes it the perfect cure for "Khaira Disease" in paddy and "White Bud" in maize.
Target Crops & Pests (Deficiencies)
| Crop | Target Deficiency / Issue |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Khaira Disease, Leaf Yellowing, Poor Tillering |
| Maize & Wheat | White Bud (white bands on leaves), Stunted Growth |
| Cotton | Rosetting, Square/Boll Shedding, Small Leaves |
| Fruits & Vegetables | Little Leaf, Die-back, Flower Drop, Reduced Fruit Size |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Krizinc-Edta is highly potent; do not overdose.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Method | Dose (per Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (gm / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (All Crops) | 100 gm | 200 Litres | 0.5 gm | Label* |
| Soil Application (Broadcasting) | 500 gm | Mix with sand/manure | - | - |
| Fertigation (Drip) | 500 gm - 1 kg | Via Venturi | - | - |
*PHI: Refer to the specific product label for crop-specific harvest waiting periods. Generally safe to apply during vegetative and pre-flowering stages.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply during the cool hours of the morning or late evening. Avoid spraying under strong sunlight to prevent evaporation. First spray is best at the active tillering or pre-flowering stage.
- Mixing: Krizinc-Edta is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. It can be tank-mixed, saving you labor costs. Always do a jar test first.
- Coverage: Ensure fine mist coverage on both sides of the leaves for maximum absorption.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Krizinc-Edta better than Zinc Sulphate?
Zinc Sulphate has low efficiency (<20%) and can damage leaves (scorch). Krizinc-Edta has over 90% efficiency, is safer for leaves, and works even in difficult soils.
2. Can I mix this with other fertilizers like Urea?
Yes, Krizinc-Edta is compatible with Urea and other water-soluble fertilizers. However, avoid mixing with heavy calcium sources without checking compatibility first.
3. What is the best time to apply for Rice/Paddy?
The best time is 2-3 weeks after transplanting (active tillering stage) to prevent Khaira disease and ensure uniform growth.
4. Can I use it for drip irrigation?
Absolutely. Since it is 100% water-soluble and does not clog nozzles, it is excellent for fertigation systems.
5. Will rain wash it away?
It is absorbed rapidly. If it doesn't rain for 4 hours after spraying, re-application is generally not required.
