Iron plays a big role in fast growth and good yield of crops

  • Iron element (Fe) known as ferrous is essential for crop growth and production.

  • Iron is a component of many enzymes associated with energy transfer, nitrogen reduction and fixation.

  • Iron deficiency is usually seen in soils with high pH because iron is unavailable to the plant in such soil.

  • Young leaves are chlorotic in iron-deficient plants.

  • Pale yellow mottling starts at the base of the leaves and spreads upward along the mid-rib and outward along the veins.

  • Its deficiency can be controlled by spraying @150-200 gm/acre of chelated Iron.
