Iron Ultra

Description

What is Iron Ultra?

Iron Ultra is a specialized solution designed to combat iron deficiency, or chlorosis, in plants. With a composition of Chelated Iron 6% (Ortho-Ortho 4.8%), Iron Ultra provides high availability of iron, which is essential for healthy plant growth. This product is particularly beneficial for crops grown in alkaline or calcareous soils, where iron is often unavailable to plants.

Key Benefits

• High Availability: The chelation process protects iron from soil fixation, ensuring it is readily available to plants.
• Quick Correction: Visible greening is often observed within 3-7 days of application.
• Versatile Application: Can be applied as a foliar spray or soil treatment, making it adaptable to different farming methods.
• Improves Photosynthesis: Ensures healthy chlorophyll synthesis, which supports photosynthesis and plant growth.
• Increases Plant Vigor: Enhances overall plant health, contributing to better yields.

How It Works

Iron Ultra works by delivering a high-quality form of chelated iron to the plant. Iron plays a crucial role in the production of chlorophyll, the green pigment essential for photosynthesis. When plants experience iron deficiency, they develop interveinal chlorosis, where the spaces between the veins of the leaves turn yellow while the veins remain green. This product helps to correct the chlorosis by providing iron that is readily absorbed by the plant.

By using chelated iron, Iron Ultra ensures that the iron remains soluble in the soil and can be taken up by the roots or leaves. Foliar applications can rapidly deliver iron to the plant, while soil treatments help to correct deficiencies over a longer period.

Local Advice for Pakistani Farmers

Iron Ultra is particularly useful in regions like Balochistan, KPK, Punjab, and Sindh, where alkaline or calcareous soils are common. These areas often face iron deficiencies in crops, leading to yellowing leaves and stunted growth. The product’s chelated formulation ensures that iron is available for plant uptake, even in high-pH soils. Farmers in these areas can use Iron Ultra as part of their regular crop management routine to boost photosynthesis and improve crop yields.

FAQs

How can I apply Iron Ultra to my crops?

Iron Ultra can be applied both as a foliar spray and as a soil application. For foliar treatment, dilute 1-2 gm per liter of water and spray the leaves every 10-15 days. For soil treatment, apply 2-5 kg per acre.

How quickly will I see results?

Visible greening and improved plant health can be observed within 3-7 days after applying Iron Ultra.

Is Iron Ultra safe for all crops?

Yes, Iron Ultra is safe for a wide variety of crops, including citrus, grapes, vegetables, and cereal crops. Always follow the recommended dosage for best results.
