I-Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid (DTPA) iyi-ejenti eyinkimbinkimbi esetshenziswa kabanzi ezimbonini ezahlukahlukene, okubandakanya ezolimo, ukwelapha amanzi, kanye nemithi.Isakhiwo sayo samakhemikhali esiyingqayizivele kanye nezakhiwo kuyenza ibaluleke kakhulu ezinhlelweni eziningi zokusebenza.
I-DTPA inezakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu zokucwenga, ezivumela ukuthi yakhe izakhiwo ezizinzile ezinama-ion ensimbi njenge-calcium, i-magnesium, nensimbi.Le ndawo iyenza ibe yingxenye ebalulekile kwezolimo kanye ne-horticultural, njengoba isiza ekuvimbeleni nasekulungiseni ukushoda kwezakhi ezitshalweni.Ngokwenza izakhiwo ezizinzile ezinama-ion ensimbi emhlabathini, i-DTPA iqinisekisa ukutholakala kwezakhi ezibalulekile zokukhula kwezitshalo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-DTPA isetshenziswa kabanzi ekwenziweni kwemithi ngenxa yekhono layo lokuchela ama-ion ensimbi, okungaphazamisa ukuzinza nokusebenza kwezidakamizwa.Isetshenziswa njenge-ejenti yokuzinzisa emithini ehlukahlukene, iqinisekisa izinga layo nempilo yeshelufu.
