MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 – is iron chelate (110 g Fe in 1 kg) completely chelated by DTPA in the form of ultra–granulate. Is intended primarily for the preparation of nutrient solutions used for FERTIGATION of field crops and cultivated under covers, including soilless techniques. Also, it can be used as a component of liquid or powder fertilizer mixtures or as iron source for other chemicals.

MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 is essential for crops with high demand for iron, i.e. sorghum, beans, soybean, peanuts, beets, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, tomato, pepper, citrus, strawberry, acidophilic plants grown on soils with neutral or alkaline pH. It is also recommended for soil conditions restricting the availability of iron for plants (high pH, high manganese content, lack of oxygen in the root zone). MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 used preventively in the recommended periods and doses prevents iron deficiency in plants. Iron supplied in MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 has a positive effect on the size and quality of yield.

Iron in the plant affects and improves the:

• Intensity of chlorophyll production
• Biomass content and proper growth and development of plants
• Overall condition of plants
• Resistance to stress and faster recovery of plants
• Quality parameters of yiel and reduces the risk of excessive accumulation of nitrates and harmful nitrites in yield.

MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 has a very good performance properties including:

• Fast solubility due to the unique structure of ultra-granules
• Total solubility – a solution formed after reconstitution ultra-granules is precipitation free
• Very good solubility in cold and hard water
• No dust during pouring into the tank with water
• High resistance to external factors during storage (no clumping).

FERTIGATION (fertilization with irrigation) Detailed recommendations (nutrient solution composition and frequency of application) should take into account the nutritional requirements of plants as well as agrotechnical and climatic conditions of cultivation (including the type of substrate). The calculations must take into account the iron (Fe) content in other fertilizers used for the preparation of the nutrient solution and in the water used for the preparation of the nutrient solution.

Fertigation in soilless cultures and coco substrate and hydroponic cultivation (nutrient solution supplied continuously or repeatedly a day):

• The most frequently recommended iron (Fe) concentration in a ready-to-use nutrient solution is 1–3 mg Fe / l (i.e. 9–27 g of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 in 1000 L). When preparing concentrated solutions, the dose of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 should be proportionally increased.

Fertigation in organic substrates and in the soil (nutrient medium is supplied periodically – many times during the vegetation period of plants):

• When using MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-11 with other fertilizers in a ready-to-use medium, do not exceed the total concentration of 0.2% of all components.
