Xtra Iron

Characteristics

XTRA IRON is a fast-acting, highly soluble, homogeneously spread and quickly absorbed liquid formula of complexed micronutrients, with high iron, which is an essential component of two major groups of proteins involved in respiratory and photosynthetic activity of plants. XTRA IRON helps correct iron deficiency and prevent iron chlorosis (Lime-induced chlorosis, Stress chlorosis, etc.), more likely to occur in alkaline conditions or under some field management practices (Soil compaction, Low oxygenation, High P and Cu fertilisation, etc.). The micronutrients are complexed with a natural coating agent (ammonium lignosulphonate) to make the product more stable over a wider pH range and to give a superior performance with foliar application and a greater protection of the mineral when applied in fertigation. This complexing technique, due to its natural source in symbiosis with the crop tissues, helps reduce solution viscosity and solution insolubility, and protects from leaf burns and other phytotoxicities. It also gives good distribution of the element over the leaf surface without the need for additional adjuvants.

Application

XTRA IRON is ideal for foliar use as well as by fertigation, on all crops and at any growth stage. Use 1-2 applications at the first signs of deficiencies. The rates indicated are only indicative.
