Verbatim
e0“Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Rambo were grown on "sand of Palomares"; with different commercial Fe chelates as sources of Fe.”
e1“The mixture of commercial Fe chelate (EDTA) and humic acid produced an increase in the content of Fe and manganese (Mn) in shoots and of potassium (K) and zinc (Zn) in roots.”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation EDDHA or EDDHMA chelates retained higher percentages of chelated iron in solution than EDTA after contact with sandy substrate.
- Intervention effect Commercial Fe-EDDHMA was the best iron source for tomato in the pot experiment.
- Intervention effect EDTA iron chelate mixed with humic acid increased potassium and zinc contents in tomato roots.
