Basfoliar Ferro Top SL

Iron is an essential nutrient for the plants since it plays a critical role in metabolic processes in plants. An imbalance between the solubility of iron in soil and the demand for iron by the plant are the primary causes of iron chlorosis. Although abundant in most well-aerated soils, the biological activity of iron is quite low because of its dependency on soil pH for availability. It primarily forms highly insoluble ferric compounds. Due to the following reasons, iron may not be available to the plants:

• High soil pH
• High calcareous soil content
• Irrigation water rich in bicarbonates
• Antagonisms with phosphorus or other cations (zinc, copper, …)
• Compacted soil, asphyxiated
• Damaged root system

Basfoliar^® Ferro Top SL is an especially formulated, concentrated, liquid iron fertiliser with EDTA chelation. It also contains nitrogen, sulphur, copper and manganese for increased efficiency and effectiveness.  After the application of Basfoliar® Ferro Top SL, the nutrients are absorbed quickly and starts working immediately in the plant system. It can be used in all types of crops including fruits, vegetables, cereals, oilseeds, sugarcane, turf and grasses.

Role and benefits
