Swarna Zinc EDTA 12% – Chelated Micronutrient for Healthy Crops

Multiplex Swarna Zinc (Zn EDTA 12%): The Cure for Hidden Hunger
Stop your crops from being stunted and yellow. Multiplex Swarna Zinc is a premium Chelated Zinc fertilizer that corrects deficiency instantly, unlike standard Zinc Sulphate.
Zinc deficiency is the #1 micronutrient problem in Indian soils, causing "Khaira" disease in Paddy and "Little Leaf" in Cotton/Chilli. Ordinary zinc gets locked in the soil and becomes useless. Multiplex Swarna Zinc uses EDTA Chelation technology—a protective "claw" that keeps the zinc soluble and available to the plant, ensuring 100% absorption.
Best For: Curing Khaira in Paddy, preventing Little Leaf in Cotton/Chilli, and boosting growth in all vegetable and fruit crops.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ?️100% Bio-Available: The EDTA "claw" protects the zinc from reacting with soil phosphorus, ensuring the plant absorbs every gram.
- ?Disease Cure: The only effective remedy for "Khaira" disease in Rice and "Rosetting" (stunted growth) in fruit trees.
- ?Growth Booster: Zinc is essential for creating "Auxins" (growth hormones). It makes stems lengthen and leaves expand properly.
- ❄️Stress Tolerance: Helps crops withstand cold temperatures and environmental stress by stabilizing plant cells.
- ?Tank Mix Friendly: Unlike Zinc Sulphate, Swarna Zinc (EDTA) can be safely mixed with many pesticides and fertilizers without clogging nozzles.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Swarna Zinc works on three levels to restore plant health:
- Hormone Synthesis: Zinc is the key ingredient to make Tryptophan, which turns into Auxin. Without Auxin, plants become dwarves with small leaves. Swarna Zinc restores this height.
- Enzyme Activation: It activates over 300 enzymes responsible for energy production and photosynthesis, turning yellow leaves back to green.
- Chelation Protection: The EDTA molecule wraps around the zinc ion. This allows it to slip past the leaf surface's negative charge and enter the plant immediately, bypassing soil lock-up.
Target Crops & Deficiency Signs
| Crop | Deficiency Symptom |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Khaira Disease: Rusty brown spots on leaves, stunted plants, and uneven maturity. |
| Cotton & Chilli | Little Leaf: Leaves become very small, narrow, and curl upwards. Plants look bushy (Rosetting). |
| Maize (Corn) | White Bud: New leaves emerge white or pale yellow. Short internodes. |
| Citrus / Fruits | Mottle Leaf: Yellow patches between green veins; leaves stand upright; dieback of twigs. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: 0.5 grams per Liter. Do not overdose.
Recommended Dosage & Protocols
| Application | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray | 100 g | 200 L | 0.5 g | 30 Days after Sowing & Pre-Flowering |
| Soil Application | 10 kg | - | - | Basal dose at planting |
| Drip Fertigation | 500 g - 1 kg | - | - | Vegetative stage |
*Use a surfactant like Multiplex Maxiwet for better leaf coverage.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply during the active vegetative stage (20-30 days crop). This prevents stunting before it starts.
- Mixing: Dissolve Swarna Zinc in a bucket of water first, then add to the main tank.
- Weather: Spray in the cool morning or late evening. Avoid hot sunny hours (11 AM - 3 PM) to prevent leaf burn.
- Nitrogen Boost: Mixing with 1-2% Urea helps the leaves absorb the Zinc faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is this different from Zinc Sulphate?
Zinc Sulphate is a salt that reacts with soil phosphorus and becomes useless (precipitates). Swarna Zinc is Chelated (EDTA), meaning it stays soluble and works even in alkaline/calcareous soils.
2. Can I mix it with DAP?
Unlike Zinc Sulphate, Swarna Zinc EDTA is much more stable and can be used with phosphatic fertilizers in soil application without immediate fixation.
3. Is it safe for all crops?
Yes, it is suitable for Paddy, Cotton, Chilli, Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers.
4. What happens if I overdose?
Using more than 0.5g/L can cause leaf burn (phytotoxicity). Always stick to the recommended dose.
5. Will it cure the yellowing leaves?
Yes, if the yellowing is between the veins (interveinal chlorosis) on new leaves, Swarna Zinc will turn them green within 6-7 days.
