Iron is one of the most important trace elements that are actively absorbed by plants and is a functional part of their enzymatic system, used in respiration and photosynthesis of the crop.
The iron atom is characterized by the ease of internal biochemical processes. It undergoes rapid oxidation and reduction. This is why iron compounds carry electrons and play a huge role in important internal reactions.
Indications for the use of mono iron
Iron has a stimulating effect on the growth and yield of various crops. A deficiency of this element is most often observed when there is excessive lime in the soil.
Signs of iron deficiency:
- Light yellow or pale coloration of leaves;
- appearance of signs of mesic chlorosis;
- Leaves die off and fall off;
- lower yields.
Signs of iron deficiency differ depending on the type of plant. Most often the lack of this element is detected in fruit crops, potatoes, cabbage. The chelated form of the mono-fertilizer provides quality leaf nutrition and prevents the development of chlorosis.
Mechanism of mono-fertilizer with iron
The word “chelates” literally translates as “claw. Such fertilizers are almost completely absorbed due to their high degree of penetration and certain form. The inorganic substances of chelates are encapsulated in an organic molecule. It is perceived by crops as a natural part of the plant.
Iron, like other beneficial substances, reacts with soil ions and can form insoluble substances that become inaccessible to plants. Using chelates completely solves this problem and ensures that all the necessary nutrients are delivered to the different parts of the plant. The organic chelate shell easily penetrates through the waxy coating of the leaf, which is not available with classic inorganic fertilizers.
The chelates contain special chelating scavenging enzymes. Due to this feature the necessary amount of time is provided for trace element ions to be in a dissolved and bioavailable state. Mono-fertilizers are practically harmless for growing crops.
Features of Use
Regular fertilization with iron chelate is recommended. Agronomists and farm managers use mono-fertilizers to decontaminate seeds before planting. Due to this it is possible to achieve higher germination and active growth of the plant.
Fertilizer is also used during the blooming period, when treating with pesticides that are stressful. Chelate fertilizers relieve signs of stress, prevent the development of diseases of the plant and ensure its continued growth.
Results of mono-iron application:
- increased chlorophyll production;
- Increased photosynthesis and auxin production;
- improving the quality of redox processes of the plant;
- atmospheric nitrogen fixation;
- increasing plant resistance to various infectious diseases;
- ensuring high yields of plants that are demanding on the iron content of the soil;
- reducing the concentration of nitrates in products;
- effective on soils in a wide pH range, excess water in the soil and at low temperatures;
- participates in the creation of phyto alexins.
The organic basis of the mono-fertilizer promotes full assimilation of nutrients and is recommended for use in the cultivation of cereals, potatoes, legumes, sugar beets, vegetables and corn.
Recommendations for use
When you use the mono fertilizer mono-iron , it is recommended that you follow the rules outlined in the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Water and a certain amount of pre-mixed fertilizer must be added to the tank of the dressing or irrigation system. This compound is mixed for a few minutes. If necessary, pesticides and water can be added. The treatment of plants is carried out mainly in the morning or in the evening, when the weather is dry and windless.
