Fe Plus

Description

What is FE PLUS Chelated Iron?

FE PLUS is a high-quality chelated iron product designed to combat iron deficiency (chlorosis) in a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. With a composition of 6% chelated iron (4.8% Ortho-Ortho), FE PLUS ensures that plants get the iron they need for optimal growth and health. Available in both nano-granules and soluble forms, FE PLUS can be easily applied via foliar spray or soil treatment. This product is particularly effective in alkaline and calcareous soils, which are prone to iron fixation, making the nutrients less available to plants.

Key Benefits

• High Availability: The chelation process protects the iron from being fixed in the soil, ensuring it remains available to plants.
• Quick Action: FE PLUS provides visible greening of plants within 3-7 days, quickly addressing chlorosis symptoms.
• Compatibility: This product can be mixed with most fertilizers and pesticides, making it versatile and easy to integrate into your crop management plan.
• Flexible Application: Can be applied both as a foliar spray or directly to the soil, depending on the crop’s needs.
• Improves Photosynthesis: By correcting iron deficiency, FE PLUS enhances chlorophyll production, which boosts photosynthesis and overall plant vigor.

How It Works

FE PLUS works through its chelated form of iron, which is easily absorbed by plants. Iron is an essential component of chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis. It helps plants produce energy by capturing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. When iron is deficient, plants show signs of chlorosis—yellowing of the leaves between the veins—especially in young leaves, which significantly reduces their ability to photosynthesize. By applying FE PLUS, plants quickly regain their ability to produce chlorophyll, improving overall health and growth.

Target Pests and Diseases

Iron Deficiency (Chlorosis): This is the primary condition FE PLUS addresses. It occurs when plants cannot absorb enough iron from the soil, leading to poor growth and yellowing leaves.
