Humiron Iron 6%: Chelated EDDHA Iron Fertilizer for Vegetative Growth
Humiron Iron 6% is a water-soluble, chelated iron compound formulated to address iron deficiencies in crops. Its composition includes iron chelated with both EDDHA and Alginic Acid, which is intended to maintain the nutrient’s stability and availability for plant absorption.
Composition
- Iron (Fe) as EDDHA: 6%
- Citric Acid: 5%
- Alginic Acid: 5%
Key Benefits
- Soil Stability: The presence of the EDDHA chelating agent contributes to the product’s stability in a wide pH range, making it suitable for application in the alkaline soil conditions common in Egypt. This chemical structure helps reduce the potential for iron to become unavailable in the soil.
- Nutrient Uptake: Humiron Iron 6% is formulated to allow for iron absorption through both the plant’s leaves (foliar application) and its root system (fertigation). Iron is a necessary component for metabolic processes, including chlorophyll synthesis.
Application Guidelines
Humiron Iron 6% can be applied through foliar and fertigation methods. Recommended rates may vary based on soil analysis, crop type, and growth stage.
Foliar Spray
For direct absorption of nutrients through the plant’s leaves.
- Recommended Rate: Mix 200 – 300 grams per 200 liters of water.
- Instructions: Apply to achieve full coverage of the plant foliage. Application is recommended during cooler periods of the day, such as early morning or late evening.
Fertigation (Soil Application)
For nutrient delivery to the root zone via the irrigation system.
- Recommended Rate: 500 – 900 grams/feddan.
- Instructions: Introduce the product into the irrigation water to ensure even distribution throughout the root zone. The rate may be adjusted based on crop type, growth stage, and the extent of iron deficiency observed.
Note: It is advisable to conduct a small-scale test before applying to the entire crop. For specific recommendations, consult with a Green Magic agronomist at no cost.
