DOCTOFERRO 52

Iron – Necessary for Plant life cycle

Iron is an essential element taking a part of whole plant metabolism activities. It is a vital element for chlorophyll synthesis besides Fe takes a role at oxidation and reduction reactions. With iron deficiency, young leaves start to turn yellow while veins remain green. Photosynthesis badly affected. Yield and quality loss observed. Iron deficiency symptoms not only observed with the deficiency of element but also observed at limy soils and/or negative conditions (groundwater, excess irrigation, drought, intense P applications, high calcium carbonate rates etc.).

Available Iron

It is possible to find iron rich soils at Mediterranean region. Italy, Spain, Turkey are few examples. But because of the high lime this iron turns to insoluble form iron hydroxide and barely absorbed by plants. Thus chlorosis appears even there is iron in soil. With high pH condition remains, iron stays unavailable. In this condition regularly chelated iron application must be done at cultivated plants. EDDHA is the best iron chelate for soil application and ortho-ortho isomer of EDDHA is the most effective one at high pH soils. Doctoferro 52,5 is not only applicable to soil but also safely applicable at hydroponics. If necessary, foliar application is also safely done.

Why Doctoferro 52,5 is so effective?

Chelates are the molecules that provide important materials to plant as their available forms when needed. Briefly chelate is a molecular structure protects available metal from forming unavailable compounds. Structure of chelates contain three components; the metal they contain (exp: Fe+3), chelate material (EDTA, DTPA, EDDHA, amino acid, humic, fulvic acid, citrates) and additional ion (Na+ or NH4 +).
