MICRO NUTRIENTS | Iron (Fe)

Ferrostrene

Ferrostrene

%6 EDDHA iron (4,8 ortho-ortho) for soil applicaitons

The Most Stable Iron (Fe) Source

Powder and water soluble Micro granulation for Floriculture, Horticulture, Viniculture, Forestry

Photosynthesis is the most important energy process that occurs in the nature. Plants produce energy via photosynthesis by solar energy. This is why the production capacity is related to solar efficiency. Iron (Fe) is essential for chlorophyll synthesis which is responsible for photosynthesis.

Ferrostrene

Symptoms such as youngest leaves becoming pale yellow or bleached almost white and brown areas developing around the main veins are the sign of iron deficiency in the plant. There are several different products in the market which can avoid iron deficiency in the plant up to a certain point. Only Ferrostrene can provide effective and definitive solutions.

  • Ferrostrene is a high quality EDDHA chelated iron (Fe) product containing highly concentrated 4.8 % Fe ortho-ortho isomer.
  • Ferrostrene Fe ORTO-ORTO is the most efficient iron chelate in the market. Other types of chelates are not efficient in high pH soils.
  • Ferrostrene is very efficient in high calcareous soils. The effective pH range is between 4-12.
  • Ferrostrene is fully water soluble. It is effective even days after application.

The role of "Fe" in the Plant

  • One of the essential elements required for biological nitrogen fixation.
  • Adequate iron, in plant-available form, is essential for protein synthesis.
  • Fe is the responsible element for O2 transport in Chlorophyll production.
  • A central component of respiratory enzyme systems.
  • Increases leaf thickness. Promotes nutrient uptake and increases the yield.
  • Fe improves the color of the leaves and increases capacity to absorb solar energy.

Conditions Causing Iron Deficiency

  • Excessive phosphate applications increases iron deficiency.
  • Excessive Manganese applications reduces Fe uptake.
  • At early season and in cold temperatures Fe uptake will decrease.
  • Excessive liming can reduce Fe availability.
  • High pH conditions inhibits Fe uptake.
Ferrostrene

For trees the best application is in spring before bud burst.

For citrus trees the best application is before summer time.

For horticultural plants and ornamental plants the best application times are at transplanting or commencing vegetative development.

  • The effect can be noticed one week after the application when the new leaves start to grow.
  • In open field soil applications as a solution; furrow, canal, with injection, protected system applications; with drip irrigation system.
  • It is important to irrigate well after a soil application.
  • It is compatible with all the fertilizers other then copper (Cu) and/or Plumb (Pb) in case of necessity.
  • The stability and the availability is very high in a pH range between 4-12.

6% EDDHA chelated Iron For Soil Application

DOCTO FER Atofer Nutrion Fe  

The Role of Iron in the Plant

  • Iron is a component of many enzymes in the plant. One of the essential elements required for biological nitrogen fixation, Sulfur metabolism and photosynthesis process. Fe is the responsible element for O2 transport in Chlorophyll production.

Iron Availability in the Soil

  • Plant available Iron in the soil solution is far too less compared to total iron content in the soil.
  • Especially in high pH alkaline soils Fe availability is even less. Fe deficiency increases in conditions such as excess of liming and high levels of heavy metal content in soil. High Manganese (Mn) content can also produce Fe deficiency.

Iron Deficiency

  • Fe is immobile in the plant. Therefore chlorosis appears on the young leaves. Deficiency symptoms in cereals are yellow and green strips along the leaf.

Plants Susceptible to Iron Deficiency

  • Fruit trees, vegetables, open field crops and ornamental crops

MICRO NUTRIENTS | Zinc (Zn)

Micro Nutrients %15 EDTA chelated zinc for soil and foliar applications

Brands: Docto-Zinc | Nutrion Zn15

DOCTO ZINC Nutrion Zn15  

The Role of Zinc (Zn) in the Plant

Zinc is a catalyzer in many enzyme systems. Enzymes containing Zn is important for starch and nitrogen metabolism. Zn controls Tryptophan-Amino acid synthesis, which stimulates one of the important growth hormone auxins.

Zinc (Zn) Availability in the Soil

Zn is mainly held by organic complex in the soil and has low availability in high pH soils.

Also excess Phosphorus (P) applications can result in Zn deficiency in the plant.

Zn Deficiency

Zn deficiency symptoms are short internodes and chlorosis on the old leaves. Small yellow spot will appear on the leaves. Buds and shoots in the fruit trees can die in the following season; early leaf senescence. Plant growth will be reduced.

Plants Susceptible to Zn Deficiency

Wheat, maize, cotton, rice, barley, oat, beans, green vegetables, citrus, grape, apple, pear

MICRO NUTRIENTS | Combi

For soil and foliar applications.

Brands: Docto-Combi Foliar | Atomix | Nutrion Combi

Docto-Combi Foliar Atomix Nutrion Combi  

Trace Elements Role in the Plant

  • Essential for healthy plant growth and development. Takes role in many metabolic activities.

Availability in the Soil

  • While making production under alkaline and saline conditions it is beneficial to make trace element applications. Foliar or soil applications of trace elements with a correct chelate form is essential to avoid trace element deficiency due to various unfavorable soil conditions.

Trace Element Deficiency

  • Chlorosis, deformation, necrosis or scorching on the margins of the leaves is the most common trace element deficiency symptoms. It will lead to reduced plant growth and affect the yield and quality.

Plants Susceptible to Trace Element Deficiency

  • Fruit trees, vegetables, open field crops and ornamental crops.
