“…EDDS performs better than EDTA at solubilizing Cu and Zn from soils at pH 7 at equimolar ratios of chelating agent to metals (Hauser et al, 2005). A colorimetric assay, IC-ICP-MS, GC, and HPLC are the most powerful tools to determine EDDS in soils and plants (Ammann, 2002;Knepper, 2003;Metsarinne, Tuhkanen and Aksela, 2001;Takahashi et al, 1997Takahashi et al, , 1999Tandy et al, 2005;Vandevivere et al, 2001).…”
