Ferriplus® is a water-soluble, EDDHA-chelated iron (6%) fertilizer formulated for use on soils above pH 7.5. It is derived from iron (Fe) EDDHA (ethylenediamine di-(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid)) and provides iron in a form that is readily available to plants. Ferriplus® performs best in highly alkaline and calcareous soils but is also effective on neutral to slightly acidic soils. Its unique EDDHA chelating agent delivers consistent iron availability across soil pH ranges from 8 to 12.
Rates of application depend on the severity of deficiency but should remain within the recommended range for each crop. For optimum results, applications are best made early in the growth cycle. When applied to soil, Ferriplus® iron fertilizer must reach the root zone, and this can be achieved by either placing it during planting or incorporating by rainfall, irrigation, or mechanical tillage.
- 6% iron chelated with EDDHA for maximum stability
- Microgranule formulation that dissolves quickly in water
- Remains available to plants in very high soil pH conditions
- Performs best on alkaline and calcareous soils
- Effective for soil and fertigation programs
- Corrects and prevents iron chlorosis in high-pH soils
- Supports early root-zone iron access when applied at planting
- Promotes healthy chlorophyll production for stronger photosynthesis and plant growth
- Long-term nutrient stability provides season-long availability
- Improves crop color, vigor, and productivity under alkaline conditions
Application
Once incorporated into the root zone, Ferriplus® provides a reliable iron source for developing crops, preventing the onset of interveinal chlorosis and supporting optimal chlorophyll synthesis. Its stability in calcareous and alkaline soils makes it valuable for crops prone to iron deficiency under these conditions.
