6% Iron Chelate Fertilizer

The granular micro-fertilizer, Lagun Iron, contains 6% plant-available iron that is chelated with the EDDHA chelating agent. This compound remains stable in the pH range of 3 to 11 and is absorbable by plants. With an ortho-ortho isomer percentage of 4.8%, it is highly effective in the soils which are mostly alkaline. Iron deficiency typically manifests as interveinal chlorosis in young leaves. Iron is the most crucial micronutrient for plants, and its absorption is highly dependent on soil pH, with significant challenges in its absorption occurring in alkaline soils.

Key Benefits and Potential Drawbacks

Advantages and Disadvantages of Iron Chelate Fertilizer

  • Improved Iron Absorption: Iron chelate fertilizer enhances iron availability in alkaline soils where iron is usually unavailable. The chelation process makes iron more easily absorbable by plants, promoting healthy growth and development.
  • Versatility: It is suitable for a wide range of plants, including vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants, and can be used in various soil types, especially in areas with alkaline soils.
  • Increased Plant Health: By ensuring that plants have access to adequate iron, this fertilizer supports critical processes like photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and overall plant metabolism, contributing to improved plant health and vigor.
  • Limited Efficacy in Acidic Soils: While it works exceptionally well in alkaline soils, its effectiveness is reduced in acidic soils, where iron is already readily available to plants.
  • Cost: Iron chelate fertilizers can be more expensive than other forms of iron supplements, which may limit their widespread use, especially in large-scale agricultural operation
  • Requires Proper Application: For optimal results, iron chelate must be applied correctly, typically through foliar application or irrigation systems, to ensure that plants absorb it efficiently. Improper application can lead to poor results or inefficient nutrient uptake.

Key Uses of Iron Chelate Fertilizer

Iron Chelate Fertilizer is essential for correcting iron deficiencies in a wide range of plants. It is particularly beneficial for crops grown in alkaline soils, where iron is often less available due to high pH levels. This fertilizer is used in field crops, fruit trees, vegetables, and greenhouse environments to promote healthy plant growth, improve chlorophyll production, and ensure proper nutrient absorption. By supplying a stable form of iron that plants can easily absorb, it helps prevent chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), a common symptom of iron deficiency.

This fertilizer is especially effective when applied as a foliar spray or through irrigation systems, ensuring quick absorption and providing essential nutrients during critical growth stages. Whether applied to field crops, fruit trees, vegetables, or greenhouse plants, Iron Chelate Fertilizer enhances overall plant vitality, growth, and yield, making it an invaluable addition to plant nutrition management.

Field Crops

Iron Chelate Fertilizer plays a crucial role in preventing and correcting iron deficiencies in field crops. It is particularly beneficial for crops grown in alkaline soils, where iron availability is limited due to high pH. Applying this fertilizer ensures proper chlorophyll production, leading to healthier plants and improved crop yields.

  • Dosage:
    1.5-2 kg/ha
  •  Time of application:
    Mix Iron Chelate Fertilizer with water and apply through foliar spray or irrigation systems to ensure quick absorption by the plants.

Fruit Trees

Iron Chelate Fertilizer is highly effective in enhancing the growth and health of fruit trees. It corrects iron deficiency, which is often visible as chlorosis (yellowing) in young leaves. The proper application of this fertilizer promotes better fruit development, improves photosynthesis, and increases fruit quality and yield.

  • Dosage:
    5-10 kg /ha
    Or 4 to 6 liters with irrigation water
  •  Time of application:

    Apply around the base of the tree or use foliar spray. Ensure even distribution around the root zone for optimal absorption.

Vegetables

Iron Chelate Fertilizer is particularly beneficial for vegetables grown in soils with high pH, where iron availability can be restricted. It helps to prevent yellowing of leaves, promotes robust plant growth, and ensures better nutrient uptake, which leads to increased vegetable yields.

  • Dosage:

    2–4 kg/ha, depending on the type of vegetable and soil conditions.

  •  Time of application:

    Apply as a foliar spray during the early morning or late evening to avoid sunburn. Alternatively, use drip irrigation systems for even distribution.

Usage Instructions

How to Apply Iron Chelate Fertilizer for Optimal Results

Iron Chelate Fertilizer is most effective when applied in the right amounts and at the correct time. Below are the guidelines for applying this fertilizer across different application methods.

Irrigation Application

This method ensures that the fertilizer reaches the roots effectively through the irrigation system.

  • Dosage
    1–3 grams per liter of water, applied via drip irrigation systems.
  • How to Apply
    Mix the fertilizer with water and integrate it into the irrigation system. Ensure even distribution across the field or garden. Monitor the irrigation system to prevent clogging.

Foliar Application

This method ensures quick absorption of iron through the leaves, especially when the plant shows symptoms of iron deficiency (e.g., yellowing leaves).

  • Dosage
    2–4 grams per liter of water. Apply every 7–10 days until symptoms are alleviated.
  • How to Apply
    Mix the required amount of Iron Chelate Fertilizer in water. Use a sprayer to apply the mixture evenly to the plant leaves, preferably in the early morning or late evening to avoid sunburn. Ensure full coverage of the leaf surface for maximum absorption.

Soil Application:

Iron Chelate Fertilizer can also be applied directly to the soil, especially in alkaline soils with high pH where iron deficiencies are common.

  • Dosage
    5–10 kg/ha per application.
  • How to Apply
    Apply the fertilizer evenly to the soil around the root zone. Water the soil after application to facilitate nutrient absorption. For best results, apply when the soil is moist, but not waterlogged, to ensure proper nutrient uptake.

    Important Notes

    • Iron Chelate can be used alongside other macro and micro-nutrients to improve overall plant health. However, ensure there is no nutrient conflict.
    • Regularly monitor the plants for signs of iron deficiency or toxicity. Adjust the application rate as needed to ensure optimal growth.
    • After applying Iron Chelate to the soil, water the plants well to ensure proper nutrient uptake and avoid crusting on the surfac.
    • When applying as a foliar spray, avoid spraying during midday when the sun is strongest, as this can cause leaf burn. Early morning or late evening applications are ideal.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    What is Iron Chelate Fertilizer and why is it important for plants?

    Iron Chelate Fertilizer is a specialized nutrient solution that provides plants with iron, a critical micronutrient essential for photosynthesis, chlorophyll production, and overall plant health. It helps in correcting iron deficiencies, particularly in soils with high pH where iron is less available to plants.

    If your plants show signs of yellowing between the veins of new leaves, which is a symptom of iron deficiency (chlorosis), it’s a clear indication that your plants need Iron Chelate Fertilizer.

    Iron Chelate Fertilizer can be applied through foliar spraying or soil application. For foliar application, spray the solution on the leaves in the early morning or late evening to avoid leaf burn. For soil application, mix the fertilizer with water and apply it directly to the soil.

    Yes, Iron Chelate can be mixed with other macro and micronutrient fertilizers, but it’s important to ensure that no nutrient conflicts occur. Always check compatibility before mixing.

    Plants typically show improvement within 7-10 days after foliar application. Soil application may take a bit longer to show visible results.
