Iron 648 is a highly bioavailable microgranular water-soluble iron EDDHA that is readily taken up by plants. This form of iron can effectively prevent or correct visual and hidden iron deficiency disorders in calcareous and alkaline soils with high pH, high bicarbonate content in irrigation water, low soil organic matter, high clay content, and low aerated soils. In such conditions, iron is often not available to plants. Iron 648 has a high percentage of strong ortho-ortho isomers, which provides a higher amount of bonds with iron, resulting in a more stable iron molecule and faster action against chlorosis. This makes it an ideal choice for season-long response, even in alkaline and calcareous soils.
Iron 648 greatly contributes to the biosynthesis of chlorophyll, respiration, and chloroplast development, thereby improving the performance of photosystems. It recovers an essential part of vital functions involving plant health, yield, and quality, which are primary concerns of the agricultural industry.
In sum, Iron 648 is a valuable tool for agriculture as it effectively addresses iron deficiency disorders in soils that are typically challenging for plant growth. Its unique properties make it a highly bioavailable and stable source of iron for plants, which in turn promotes better plant health, yield, and quality.
