Iron Deficiency in Crops : How to Identify

Spray Krishikranti Iron Fe EDTA 12% immediately on seeing these symptoms:

• New leaves yellow between the veins  classic interveinal chlorosis; veins stay green while leaf tissue turns pale
• Youngest leaves almost white or very pale yellow  severe iron deficiency stage; act immediately
• Stunted new shoot growth  iron deficiency slows cell division in growing points
• Poor fruit colour and size  iron is essential for chloroplast function which drives photosynthesis and fruit development
• Reduced yield in grain crops  paddy and wheat show poor tillering and weak grain filling under iron stress
• Common in alkaline black soils (pH above 7)  iron gets locked in soil even when present in adequate quantity

Dose and Application Rate  Iron Fe EDTA 12%

How to Use Krishikranti Iron Fe EDTA 12%

For Foliar Spray:

• Dissolve 0.5–1 g of Fe EDTA 12% in 1 litre of clean water. Stir until fully dissolved  no undissolved particles.
• Spray in the early morning (before 9 AM) or late evening (after 5 PM)  avoid strong midday sun which causes rapid evaporation and reduces absorption.
• Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Stomata on the underside absorb iron faster.
• Repeat after 10–15 days if yellowing persists. Most crops show visible greening within 5–7 days of first spray.
• Do not spray before expected rainfall  the product will wash off before absorption.

For Drip Irrigation / Fertigation:

• Dissolve 500 g to 1 kg per acre fully in water before adding to the drip system.
• Inject through the fertigation unit during the regular irrigation cycle.
• Flush drip lines with plain water after application to prevent residue buildup.
• Apply at the vegetative stage for prevention. Apply immediately on deficiency detection for correction.

Mode of Action : How EDTA Chelation Works

Understanding why chelated iron outperforms regular iron fertilizers in Indian soils:

• EDTA ring structure protects iron: EDTA binds the iron ion in a stable ring (chelate) that resists reaction with soil calcium, carbonate, and phosphate. Iron stays soluble and plant-available instead of getting locked in insoluble compounds.
• Direct chlorophyll synthesis: Iron is a key component in chlorophyll production. Once absorbed, Fe EDTA directly restores the plant's ability to produce chlorophyll  yellowing reverses within 5–10 days.
• Enzyme activation: Iron activates multiple plant enzymes involved in respiration, nitrate reduction, sulphate reduction, and biological nitrogen fixation in legume nodules.
• Stable across pH 4 to 8: Unlike ferrous sulphate which becomes insoluble above pH 6.5, EDTA-chelated iron remains fully available across the pH range found in most Indian agricultural soils.
• Works through both leaves and roots: Foliar spray delivers iron directly through leaf stomata. Soil or drip application delivers iron via roots without soil fixation losses.

Key Benefits of Krishikranti Iron Fe EDTA 12%

• Corrects iron deficiency fast  visible leaf greening within 5–7 days of foliar spray
• Works in alkaline Indian soils (pH up to 8) where regular iron fertilizers fail
• 100% water soluble  no residue, no clogging in drip systems or sprayers
• Restores chlorophyll production  deeper green, healthier, more productive leaves
• Boosts photosynthesis and dry matter accumulation for higher yields
• Safe for foliar application  no leaf burn at recommended dose
• Compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers and most pesticides
• Suitable for field crops, horticulture, vegetables, fruits, and hydroponics
• FCO 1985 compliant  meets Indian regulatory quality standards
