When to use chelated iron fertilizer for plants?
Hortag chelated iron is used when symptoms of iron deficiency appear, mainly yellowing of new leaves with veins remaining greener in many cases.
This problem is common in alkaline and calcareous soils, or when soil salinity is high, or root activity is weak, or the plant’s ability to absorb microelements is low.
It can be used within soluble fertilizer programs when the goal is to quickly correct a specific element deficiency better than relying solely on general fertilizers.
If iron deficiency is related to high salinity, it can be supported with soil salinity improving products along with proper irrigation and drainage.
Benefits of FeDDHA in alkaline and calcareous soils
FeDDHA formula is one of the most used chelated iron forms in alkaline and calcareous soils because it helps keep iron available to the plant for a longer period compared to some other iron forms.
Therefore, Hortag is suitable for crops suffering from clear yellowing due to iron deficiency, especially when the problem is related to high pH or poor element absorption.
How to use Hortag chelated iron?
Use according to the instructions on the package or the recommendation of an agricultural specialist.
Field crops: often used at a rate of 2 to 4 kg per hectare depending on deficiency severity and soil condition.
Vegetables: often used at a rate of 3 to 5 kg per hectare, with reapplication as needed.
Fruit trees: often used at a rate of 20 to 100 grams per tree depending on size and condition.
Ornamental trees: often used at a rate of 2 to 3 kg per hectare.
Dissolve the product well in water before application to ensure even distribution around the root zone.
Preferably use at the onset of yellowing symptoms rather than waiting for vegetative growth to deteriorate.
Home use method for Hortag 6% iron:
For small trees: dissolve approximately 20 to 30 grams in 5 liters of water, then distribute the solution around the root zone.
For medium or large trees: dissolve approximately 50 to 100 grams in 10 to 20 liters of water, then evenly distribute around the root circumference.
Avoid pouring the solution directly on the trunk; it is better to distribute around the root spread area.
Repeat treatment based on plant condition, severity of yellowing, and specialist recommendation.
Difference between Hortag FeDDHA and general fertilizers
Hortag FeDDHA is specifically for treating iron deficiency, so it differs from general fertilizers like NPK that supply macronutrients.
When yellowing is caused by iron deficiency, balanced fertilizers alone may not suffice because the issue often relates to iron availability or absorption, not just overall nutrition deficiency.
Precautions for using chelated iron
Do not use high doses without assessing the severity of iron deficiency and plant condition.
Do not rely on it alone if yellowing results from overwatering, weak roots, nitrogen deficiency, or magnesium deficiency.
Avoid random mixing with pesticides or other fertilizers before compatibility testing.
Preferably apply around the root zone in cases related to soil alkalinity and calcareousness.
Store in a dry, cool place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Suitable for gardeners, farmers, and nurseries needing to treat iron deficiency and leaf yellowing in plants.
