Ferrogat - Liquid Iron Plant Nutrient

When fertilizing with Ferrogat via the irrigation system, it is advisable to inject it towards the end of the irrigation application, specifically during the last third of the irrigation turn, so that it remains in the bulk area of the active roots. The ability of the crop to absorb iron depends on the presence of a high concentration of available iron in the vicinity of its roots. Therefore it is recommended to apply the recommended amount of Ferrogat in a short period of time and at high concentration, rather than applying it in diluted form during the entire irrigation.

It is also recommended to split the yearly recommended amount of Ferrogat into a limited number of fairly large doses. For example, if an annual dose of 100 Lt/ha is required, it is preferable to apply 4 doses of 25 Lt/ha, rather than 10 doses of 1 litre each.

It is more efficient and convenient to continuously provide iron with Ferrogat, rather than wait for iron deficiency symptoms to develop. Preventive fertilization avoids damage to the plants and the reduction of yields.
