1 litre can of Anti-deficiency Iron (Fe)

This anti-deficiency treatment Iron (Fe) is used preventively and curatively to combat iron chlorosis, which manifests as yellowing of the leaves (with the veins remaining green) in plants sensitive to limestone, for example. It contains various trace elements and especially chelated iron, a molecule that allows for iron assimilation even in cases of induced deficiency, and has an effective greening effect. It is diluted in watering water, at the base of crops, Packaged in a 1-litre container, it allows for the preparation of up to 40 litres of solution.

This treatment is in the form of a concentrated solution to be diluted in watering water. It is a rich formulation in Iron (Fe) recommended for alkaline and/or clay soils. Chelated iron, instead of chemically binding like simple iron to calcium or other metals or minerals in the soil, is made available and assimilated by the plant roots: chlorophyll synthesis is restarted, leaves turn green again. 

Iron is a crucial element for the health and growth of plants, but its availability largely depends on the soil pH: in alkaline soil (pH>7), iron will be difficult to absorb for certain plants known as acidophilous plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, camellias or Kalmia... Iron is involved in the composition of several enzymes and certain pigments. It is essential for chlorophyll formation: iron-deficient plants show symptoms of chlorosis in their leaves, which turn yellow instead of green, except for the veins. Ultimately, chlorosis often leads to the death of plants.

Usage : in ornamental gardens, orchards, vegetable gardens or on the terrace,  especially for:

- citrus trees

- all plants known as acid-loving plants (hydrangeas, azaleas, rhododendrons, andromedas, camellias, kalmias, gardenias...)

- certain small fruits (raspberries, blueberries, may berries, vines)

- certain fruit trees

- certain rose cuttings or grafted onto Rosa multiflora

- the lawn

- all plants showing obvious signs of chlorosis in general, including in the vegetable garden (spinach, beans...)

Application from April to September - Dilute the liquid at 5%, i.e. 0.25L of anti-deficiency treatment per 10L of water

• Preventive treatment: on vegetable crops, apply before planting; on annual crops, apply before the start of vegetation in spring. Spread the treatment in the root zone, then water abundantly immediately after application to promote solution penetration at the root level. Treat every 3 weeks.
• Curative treatment :  apply at the first signs of leaf yellowing, once a week.
