Iron Chelate Microgranules provide a fast and effective way to treat iron deficiency in a wide range of plants, from crops and lawns to ornamentals and fruit trees. Iron deficiency commonly shows as yellowing leaves and stunted growth due to a lack of chlorophyll. This product works quickly to correct those symptoms, helping your plants regain vibrant green colour and healthy development.

Iron Chelate Microgranules work by using EDTA chelation, which tightly binds iron to prevent it from becoming unavailable in the soil, ensuring efficient delivery to plants. This helps correct chlorosis by supplying the iron necessary for chlorophyll production, quickly reversing yellow leaf symptoms. The microgranules dissolve rapidly, making the iron immediately accessible for plant uptake. Their versatile application allows use as either a foliar spray or soil drench, adapting easily to different crops and growing conditions. Iron is essential for healthy leaf development, photosynthesis, and overall plant vigour, making this product key to improving plant growth.

First time owning lawn. Gave the team at plant doctor a ring and they supplied me with a wealth of information. Products turned up quickly.
Will definitely be getting more 8 weeks difference been using stimulizer, activ8mate, soil wetter, seaweed secrets and champion fertiliser. Was super fast delivery.
Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
