It is widespread that EDTA-chelated fertilizers are utilized for foliar application. Still, you may be shocked to learn that this practice, which you employ to provide nutrients and therefore prevent yield and income loss, might only result in dollars going down the drain.

In this presentation, we will showcase university data and third-party independent research data that suggest EDTA chelates aren’t the best option for foliar applications. Attendees can also expect to learn about an alternative option to EDTAs: Acetates. Questions to be answered include: What is an acetate? How do they match up against EDTAs? And how efficient are acetates? This presentation will also provide insight into some of the functions of the essential nutrients as well as soil conditions and other practices that can impact plant nutrient availability.

Topic Highlights:

  • What is an acetate?
  • What is an EDTA?
  • Molecule size comparison EDTA vs Acetate
  • Research Data foliar efficacy/Acetate vs. EDTA
  • Nutrient function
  • Nutrient interaction

Wayne Sledge
Founder and President Cultivace

Wayne Sledge is president and founder of Cultivace, a West Coast-based fertilizer manufacturer. Wayne has over 50 years of experience in the field of agriculture and began his career as a grower. He eventually transitioned to fertilizer sales and was quickly promoted up the chain, managing several locations along the way. In the early 2000s, Wayne created his own company driven by two fundamental principles: "Our products must be of the highest quality, and they must make the grower money. If a product can't meet those standards, we don't manufacture it.". From its humble beginnings, Cultivace products are now available nationwide, and through our partner companies, hundreds of thousands of acres are treated with Cultivace products every year. Amidst all the growth, Wayne and every Cultivace employee stay dedicated to the original company mission, whether working with a large fertilizer dealer or a singular grower.
