I-Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid (DTPA) yi-agent eyinkimbinkimbi esetyenziswa ngokubanzi kumashishini ahlukeneyo, kuquka ezolimo, unyango lwamanzi, kunye namayeza.Ubume bayo obukhethekileyo bekhemikhali kunye neepropathi zenza ukuba ibe yimfuneko kwizicelo ezininzi.
I-DTPA ineempawu ezibalaseleyo ze-chelating, ezivumela ukuba zenze ii-complexes ezizinzileyo kunye ne-ion zetsimbi ezifana ne-calcium, i-magnesium, kunye nentsimbi.Le propati yenza ukuba ibe yinto ebalulekileyo kwimisebenzi yezolimo kunye ne-horticultural, njengoko inceda ekuthinteleni nasekulungiseni ukunqongophala kwezondlo kwizityalo.Ngokwenza ii-complexes ezizinzileyo kunye ne-ion zetsimbi emhlabeni, i-DTPA iqinisekisa ukufumaneka kwezondlo ezibalulekileyo zokukhula kwezityalo.
Ngaphezu koko, i-DTPA isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwimveliso yamachiza ngenxa yokukwazi ukutshiza i-ion zetsimbi, ezinokuphazamisa ukuzinza kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwamachiza.Isetyenziswa njenge-arhente yokuzinzisa kumayeza ahlukeneyo, ukuqinisekisa umgangatho wabo kunye nobomi beshelufu.
