Growth-promoting Effects of Ethylene-diamine Tetra-acetic Acid

Growth-promoting Effects of Ethylene-diamine Tetra-acetic Acid THE recent communication by Heath and Clark1 prompts us to present some of our observations of presumed plant hormone effects of the chelating agent ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid. Reference to these observations was made in a review on the application of chelation to agriculture2. Our interest in this problem developed from observations, made in the summer of 1953, on massive growth response to ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid by sunflower plants in water culture; metal complexing effects in the nutrient medium were involved, but there was also evidence of a direct effect of ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid itself on growth. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Springer Journals
