As one of the 17 essential plant elements, iron is commonly applied in a various lawn, turf and landscape settings. Often, Ferrous Sulfate fertilizer is used to correct Chlorosis (yellowing of the leaves). In the plant, iron plays a role in photosynthetic electron transport, respiration, chlorophyll formation, and numerous enzymatic reactions. Due to its use in chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis, Iron (Fe) is often applied to enhance greening without increasing plant growth.
Some features include:
It is Water Soluble Powder
Essential for chlorophyll production
Promotes energy transfers
Required in photosynthesis
Part of the enzyme system needed for plant respiration
Required for the formation of some proteins
Promotes healthy growth in plants
