Iron deficiency is a limiting factor of plant growth. Iron is present at high quantities in soils, but its availability to plants is usually very low, and therefore iron deficiency is a common problem.

Although most of the iron on the earth crust is in the form of Fe3+, the Fe2+ form is physiologically more significant for plants. This form is relatively soluble, but is readily oxidized to Fe3+, which then precipitates.

Fe3+ is insoluble in neutral and high pH, making iron unavailable to plants in alkaline and in calcareous soils. Furthermore, in these types of soil, iron readily combines with phosphates, carbonates, calcium, magnesium and hydroxide ions.

Features & Benefits:
When iron deficiency is identified, it can be treated in the short term by applying a foliar spray of iron, but the best course of action is prevention. Therefore, the grower should identify the real cause of the deficiency and treat it, in order to prevent the problem from occurring in the future.

Technical Details:
Ferrous Sulphate is a blue green crystal. Contains 19.5% Iron (Fe). Originally it was known as "green vitriol" or "copperas". It is soluble in water and melts at 64C.

Application Rate:
Application of Ferrous Sulphate should be done in spring or early summer. Repeat application in 6-8 weeks as needed, to correct iron deficiency and promote dark green color.
