Iron is a catalyst in chlorophyll formation and acts as an oxygen carrier. It also helps form certain respiratory enzyme systems in the plant. Iron deficiency shows up as a very light pale leaf color with veins remaining green, usually first appearing on younger leaves. Severe deficiency may result in the entire plant showing such symptoms. Iron deficiency may be caused by an imbalance with such metals as molybdenum, copper or manganese. Other factors contributing to iron deficiency include high amounts of lime, high soil pH, low soil organic matter and plant genetic differences.

ACTAGRO 4.5% IRON is formulated in a patented process for the prevention or correction of iron deficiencies in plants and can be effectively used for both foliar and soil applications. It contains Actagro Organic Acids® which may aid in soil and foliar applied micronutrient availability.
ACTAGRO 4.5% IRON is recommended for foliar application as a dilute spray solution and should be applied early in the crops growth cycle for maximum utilization.
ACTAGRO 4.5% IRON is recommended for band application during preplant, planting or sidedress operations.
ACTAGRO 4.5% IRON is non-phytotoxic when used as directed and may be combined with most pesticides and fertilizers.
ACTAGRO 4.5% IRON will be influenced by differences in varieties, soil and environmental conditions and should be applied under conditions of optimum plant growth. Optimum conditions are defined as adequate humidity, moderate temperatures and adequate soil moisture. Optimum conditions for most crops generally occur during early morning or late evening hours.
ACTAGRO 4.5% IRON disperses well in water. For best results mix as follows:
1. Partially fill tank with water or fertilizer and start agitation.
2. Add other nutrients or pesticides if compatible.
3. Add 4.5% IRON to circulating tank mix.
4. Fill tank and agitate thoroughly.
SOIL APPLICATION RATES
VEGETABLES, CUCURBITS, FIELD AND ROW CROPS: Apply through a drip system or soil inject 3 to 6 inches deep either below or off to the side of the seed placement area. May be applied with preplant or sidedress fertilizers. Use 1 to 8 quarts per acre. May be applied through center pivot irrigation systems.
DECIDUOUS FRUIT AND NUT TREES, GRAPES, OLIVES AND CITRUS: Apply through a drip system or inject at the drip line 3 to 5 inches deep. Use 1 to 8 quarts per acre.
TURF: Apply 4 ounces (1/2 cup) to 16 ounces (1 pint) in 1 to 2 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet.
FOLIAR APPLICATION RATES
VEGETABLES, CUCURBITS, FIELD AND ROW CROPS: Apply 1 to 4 pints per acre in 15 to 25 gallons of water per acre as directed foliar spray when plants are 8 to 12 inches in height. Aerial application use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. May be applied through center pivot irrigation systems.
DECIDUOUS FRUIT AND NUT TREES, GRAPES, OLIVES AND CITRUS: Apply 1 to 2 quarts per acre. Aerial applications use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. Dilute or concentrate sprays use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre.
