Citric acid
Citric acid
Citric Acid is a naturally occurring organic acid widely used in agriculture as a pH regulator, chelating agent, and soil conditioner. In farming practices, it improves nutrient availability by chelating essential micronutrients (like calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc), ensuring better absorption by plants. It is also highly effective in acidifying irrigation water, preventing clogging in drip systems, and enhancing the efficiency of fertilizers and pesticides.
