DISPER Fer 6% GS, due to its iron content chelated with EDDHSA, successfully corrects and prevents iron deficiency in crops.
Disper Fer 6% GS
Disper Fer 6% GS is a next-generation micronized granular iron fertilizer developed with advanced formulation technology.
Advantages of Disper Fer 6% GS
- Does not create dust or leave residues.
- Contains iron chelated with EDDHSA.
- Thanks to the EDDHSA chelation technology, it provides a solubility of up to 300 g/100 L, whereas other iron chelates based on EDDHA or EDDHMA generally do not exceed 100–120 g/100 L.
- Formulated as a fully water-soluble granular product.
- Even at high concentrations, it dissolves completely in water and does not cause clogging during application.
- Can be applied both to the soil and as a foliar spray to correct iron chlorosis.
Importance of Iron for Plants
- Iron deficiency causes chlorosis in leaves.
- Plays a vital role in electron transport during photosynthesis.
- Participates in protein metabolism.
- Has an important function in atmospheric nitrogen fixation.
- Essential for chlorophyll synthesis.
- Even slight iron deficiency may result in reduced enzyme activity and impaired protein production.
- Iron deficiency is particularly common in alkaline soils.
Chlorosis Caused by Iron Deficiency
- Characteristically, leaves change color from green to yellow.
- Severe iron deficiency, if left untreated, can lead to tissue necrosis and eventual tissue death.
- Iron plays a significant role in plant respiration and photosynthesis.
Composition
- Water-Soluble Iron (Fe): 6%
- EDDHSA-Chelated Iron (Fe): 6%
- Stability range of EDDHSA chelate: pH 3–11
Application Rates and Recommendations
Application rates vary according to the severity of iron deficiency, soil structure, soil temperature, crop age, growth stage, and plant size. The following recommendations can be used as general guidelines for all irrigation systems.
Fruit Trees
(Citrus, Olive, Peach, Pear, Apple, Plum, Apricot, Pistachio, Kiwi)
- Newly planted trees: 5–12 g/tree
- Trees beginning production: 15–30 g/tree
- Trees in full production: 30–100 g/tree
- Large trees: 50–100 g/tree
Vineyards
- Newly planted vines: 1–4 g/vine
- Established vines: 5–10 g/vine
- Productive vineyards (late winter): 15–25 g/vine
- Depending on soil conditions: 2–5 kg/da
Annual and Perennial Flowers, Herbaceous Plants
- General application rate: 1–5 g/m² or 400–600 g/da
Vegetables
- General application rate:
- 100–200 g/100 L water, or
- 100–200 g/da
Depending on local soil conditions, all recommended soil application rates may be increased by up to 30%.
Unlike many other iron chelates, its special granular formulation also allows foliar application.
Foliar Application
- 100–300 g/100 L water at intervals of 15–20 days.
- During flowering: 50–100 g/100 L water.
For foliar applications, late afternoon hours or cloudy days are recommended.
Compatibility
Do not mix with:
- Mineral oils
- Products with very high pH
- Products with very low pH
