Watercon
Watercon has disodium salt of EDTA as its main component. EDTA acts as a chelating agent by sequestering metal ions such as Calcium, Magnesium and Iron etc., in an aqueous solution. EDTA has being used as sequestering agent for chelating the unwanted metal ions in the aqueous solution.
Composition: Disodium salt of Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid equivalent to laboratory reagent grade of EDTA
Benefits:
- Improves water quality by reducing the hardness of water.
- Reduces the concentration of Calcium, Iron and other metal ions by sequestering.
- It reduces heavy metal toxicity by forming chelates with heavy metals in the pond.
- Helps in regulating the hardness and alkalinity of water.
- Stimulates the process of moulting and enhances their moulting cycle.
- Works in wide range of saline conditions
Dosage: Watercon has to be used in the range of 700 gm/acre or as suggested by the aquaculture consultant.
Mode of application: Mix the desired quantity in water and spread the mixture evenly on the pond.
