MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 SL – Liquid iron chelate containing 76 g Fe in 1 litre completely chelated by DTPA. 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 fertilizer mixtures or as iron source for other chemicals.

MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 SL – 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-6 SL used preventively in the recommended periods and doses prevents iron deficiency in plants. Iron supplied in MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 SL 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-6 SL

• Source of iron easily available for plants
• Stability in wide pH range 2-8
• Compability with majority of agrochemicals

FERTIGATION 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. 10–40 ml of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 SL in 1000 L). When preparing concentrated solutions, the dose of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 SL 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-6 SL with other fertilizers in a ready-to-use medium, do not exceed the total concentration of 0.2% of all components (i.e. 2 L or L in 1000 L of nutrient solution).
• Recommended amount of MIKROCHELAT™ Fe-6 SL throughout the entire growing season: 6–30 L / ha in divided doses (max. 2 L /ha in one cycle).
