The Fe chelate o,p-EDDHA/Fe³⁺, in addition to o,o-EDDHA/Fe³⁺, was found recently to be a component of commercial EDDHA/Fe³⁺ chelates. The European Regulation on fertilisers has included o,p-EDDHA as an authorized chelating agent. The efficacy of o,o-EDDHA/Fe³⁺, o,p-EDDHA/Fe³⁺ and EDTA/Fe³⁺ chelates as Fe sources in plant nutrition was studied. Iron-chelate reductase (FC-R) in young cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) roots reduced o,p-EDDHA/Fe³⁺ faster than o,o-EDDHA/Fe³⁺, EDTA/Fe³⁺ and a commercial source of EDDHA/Fe³⁺. The o,p-EDDHA/Fe³⁺ chelate was also more effective than the o,o-EDDHA/Fe³⁺ in decreasing the severity of Fe-deficiency chlorosis in leaves of young soybean (Glycine max L.) plants grown hydroponically. The o,p-EDDHA ligand was more effective in the short-term than the EDTA and o,o-EDDHA ligands at dissolving Fe from selected Fe minerals and soils. However, the ultimate quantity of dissolve Fe was greatest with the o,o-EDDHA ligand.
