Nutrifeed Fe HBED – 7% is a specialty fertilizer specifically designed to supply highly available iron cations to plants in high pH conditions (above 7.5) and in calcareous soils. Nutrifeed Fe HBED – 7% is characterized by several unique properties. The entire concentration of iron in the product (7% w/w) is 100% chelated by HBED and since the product contains no optical isomers, the total iron concentration is completely effective and fully available to plants.
Iron is crucial in the redox reactions of various cytochromes during respiration and photosynthesis. It is also involved in the functioning of oxidative enzymes, such as catalase and peroxidase, as well as in chlorophyll biosynthesis. It is highly involved in various stages of nitrate reduction within plants. Iron’s most prevalent deficiency symptom, leaf chlorosis, is generally caused by its unavailability to plant roots when it is in an oxidation state of Fe3+ and when its solubility is extremely low.
