Iron Fe HBED 7% Description:ADOB® Fe HBED – 7% is a specialized fertilizer specially formulated to provide highly available iron cations to plants in high pH conditions (above 7.5) and in calcareous soils.
Thanks to a patented production process, ADO Fe HBED – 7% is characterized by many unique properties. The whole iron concentration in the product (7% w/w) is 100% chelated by HBED and since the product does not contain optical isomers, the total iron concentration is completely effective and fully available to the plants. The fertilizer is prepared as 100% water-soluble, free-flowing crystals without impurities.
Unlike other chelated Fe fertilizers, ADOB Fe HBED – 7%, with a stable stability at K=10-39, proves effective under highly alkaline conditions (up to pH 12). The effectiveness of the product is not affected by the presence of copper in soils or other products applied in combination with ADOB Fe HBED – 7%. As the HBED chelating agent is also used in medicine to treat patients suffering from various iron disorders, the product is not only safe for humans, but also for the environment.
This product serves as an effective source of iron in high pH conditions, when applied directly to the soil and when applied through fertilization or hydroponics. It is recommended for preventive and corrective fertilization in all agricultural and horticultural crops.
Iron is crucial in the redox reactions of various cytochromes during respiration and photosynthesis. It is also involved in the function of oxidative enzymes, such as catalase and peroxidase, and in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll. It is heavily involved in various stages of nitrate reduction in plants. The most widespread symptom of iron deficiency, leaf chlorosis, is generally caused by its unavailability in plant roots when it is in the Fe3+ oxidation state and when its solubility is extremely low (<10-15M). This is directly related to its tendency to form hydroxides, oxyhydroxides and Fe oxides in aerated alkaline soils. ADOB® Fe HBED – 7% can successfully treat iron deficiency, quickly addressing the associated physiological disorders.
