Foliar feeding is a horticultural technique that involves applying liquid fertilizers directly to the leaves of plants. This method allows for rapid absorption of nutrients, providing a quick solution for deficiencies and enhancing plant performance. Iron is a key micronutrient often applied through foliar sprays, especially when soil conditions limit uptake. The effectiveness of foliar iron applications hinges on the form of iron used and its ability to be absorbed by the plant without causing leaf damage.

While various forms of iron are available, chelated iron offers distinct advantages for foliar application. Chelation protects the iron ion, preventing its oxidation and precipitation on the leaf surface, thereby enhancing its absorption. Among the commonly used chelates, DTPA (Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) is recognized for its excellent performance in foliar sprays.

The DTPA-Fe Sodium Complex, offered by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., is specifically formulated for effective foliar application. DTPA forms a stable iron complex that is readily recognized and absorbed by plant foliage. This leads to a faster correction of iron deficiency symptoms, such as interveinal chlorosis, compared to non-chelated iron sources. Furthermore, DTPA chelates are known for their mildness on leaf tissues, reducing the risk of spray burn which can be a concern with other iron formulations.

Using DTPA-Fe Sodium Complex for foliar feeding ensures that plants receive a consistent and efficient supply of iron. This is particularly beneficial during critical growth stages or when environmental stress conditions exacerbate iron uptake issues. The product's high solubility and stability contribute to uniform spray coverage and effective nutrient delivery. Growers seeking to optimize plant health and productivity through foliar applications will find the DTPA-Fe Sodium Complex from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. to be a highly effective solution for their iron nutrition needs.
