ʻO ka Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid (DTPA) he mea paʻakikī i hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā ʻoihana like ʻole, me ka mahiʻai, mālama wai, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau.ʻO kona ʻano kemika kū hoʻokahi a me nā waiwai e pono ai no nā noi he nui.
Loaʻa i ka DTPA nā waiwai chelating maikaʻi, hiki iā ia ke hana i nā paʻa paʻa me nā ion metala e like me ka calcium, magnesium, a me ka hao.He mea koʻikoʻi kēia waiwai i ka hana mahiʻai a me ka horticultural, no ka mea, kōkua ia i ka pale ʻana a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā hemahema o nā mea kanu.Ma ka hana ʻana i nā paʻa paʻa me nā ion metala ma ka lepo, hōʻoia ʻo DTPA i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā meaʻai pono no ka ulu ʻana o nā mea kanu.
Eia kekahi, hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻo DTPA i ka hana lāʻau lapaʻau ma muli o kona hiki ke chelate i nā ion metala, hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ka paʻa a me ka pono o nā lāʻau lapaʻau.Hoʻohana ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he stabilizing agent i nā lāʻau lapaʻau like ʻole, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ko lākou maikaʻi a me ke ola paʻa.
