DESCRIPTION
MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o contains 60 g Fe per kg (6% Fe). Iron is fully chelated by EDDHA, incl. 48 g [o-o] and 12 g [o-p]. Iron in the form of chelate is rapidly absorbed, transported, and assimilated by plants.
MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o is intended for fertigation of plants cultivated primarily on alkaline soils.
MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o can also be used as:
- A component of liquid or powder fertilizer mixtures
- An Iron source for other chemicals.
Iron supplied to plants in MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o is:
- Efficiently and quickly taken up by plants in alkaline environment – due to presence of ortho-ortho isomer, the fertilizer is particularly stable in a wide range of pH 2–11
- Safe for plants in all treatment techniques (according to the recommended doses)
- Stable in multicomponent solutions.
| Nutrients | Content [g/kg] | Content [% by mass] |
|
Iron (Fe) chelated by EDDHA |
60 incl. 48 [ortho-ortho] and 12 [ortho-para]. |
6.0 incl. 4.8 [ortho-ortho] and 1.2 [ortho-para]. |
Iron supplied in MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o has a positive effect on the size and quality of yield. Iron in the plant affects and improves the:
- Intensity of chlorophyll production;
- Biomass content and proper growth and development of plants;
- Overall condition of plants;
- Resistance to stress and faster recovery of plants;
- Quality parameters of yield;
- and reduces the risk of excessive accumulation of nitrates and harmful nitrites in yield.
MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o has a very good performance properties including:
- Fast solubility due to the unique structure of ultra-granules;
- Total solubility – a solution formed after reconstitution ultra-granules is precipitation free;
- Very good solubility in cold and hard water;
- No dust during pouring into the tank with water;
- High resistance to external factors during storage (no clumping).
Physical and chemical properties of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o chelate solutions include:
- The product is stable in the pH range of 2–11;
- Solubility in deionized water – approx. 300 g/L;
- EC in deionized water: 0.1 % solution – 0.47 mS/cm;
- pH in deionized water: 0.1 % solution – 8.8.
Directions for Use
MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o may be used in different fertilization techniques, including fertigation, soil spraying, soil watering and scattering after mixing with other fertilizers.
- FERTIGATION of crops in the ground (medium supplied periodically – repeatedly during the vegetation period)
Specific recommendations (medium composition and the frequency of application) shall take into account the nutritional requirements of plants and agronomic and climatic conditions of cultivation.
The calculations shall take into account the content of iron (Fe) in other fertilizers used to prepare the medium and in water used to prepare the medium.
When using MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o with other fertilizers in a ready to use medium, do not exceed a total concentration of 0.2% of all ingredients (i.e. 2 kg and/or L in 1,000 L of medium).
Recommended amount of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o in the whole growing season (in divided doses max. 2 kg/ha in one cycle):
- Pome and stone fruit trees, nuts, fruit shrubs, strawberry, vegetables, ornamental plants: 10–40 kg/ha
- Citrus, mango, avocado, olive trees, banana trees, palm trees, coffee, pineapple: 20–60 kg/ha
- Grapevine: 10–30 kg/ha
Suggested doses are indicative only.
- SOIL SPRAYING, SOIL WATERING, SCATTERING after mixing with other soil fertilizers
Spray the soil abundantly with chelate aqueous solution of a concentration of 0.1–1% (0.1–1 kg in 100 l water) before sowing or planting seedlings or spray the soil within the root area of perennial plants, while keeping an optimal substrate humidity.
Recommended amount of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 o-o in the whole growing season:
- Pome and stone fruit trees, nuts: soil spraying 5–10 kg/ha or spread on the soil 15–120 g/tree
- Citrus, mango, avocado, olive trees, banana trees, palm trees, coffee, pineapple: soil spraying 5–10 kg/ha or spread on the soil 75–150 g/tree
- Grapevine, fruit shrubs: soil spraying 5–10 kg/ha or spread on the soil 500–1200 g/100 linear meter of row
- Strawberry, vegetables, ornamental plants: soil spraying 5–10 kg/ha or spread on the soil 4–6 g/10M2
- Agricultural crops: soil spraying 5–10 kg/ha or spread on the soil 2.5–5 kg/ha
For spreading method, it is recommended to mix chelate with soil or water the soil abundantly within 4–6 hours from applying the fertilizer.
