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.
Use it for early season applications to ensure iron availability at the onset of growth. It is helpful when leaf yellowing or stunted growth indicates a chlorophyll deficiency. Foliar sprays can be applied for fast correction in lawns and ornamentals. Root zone treatments are effective for fruit trees and shrubs. This product is also suitable in situations where iron sulphate is incompatible or less effective.
Nutrient Profile:
Iron (Fe): 13% (130 g/kg) as EDTA chelate. Highly soluble, plant-available iron for rapid deficiency correction.
Why choose Iron Chelate:
(Iche_1)
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.

Iron (EDTA) Chelate is used to quickly correct iron deficiency in various crops, lawns, and ornamental plants. It alleviates symptoms like leaf yellowing (chlorosis) and stunted growth caused by chlorophyll deficiency.
It comes as free-flowing, low-dust microgranules that dissolve rapidly and completely in water. You can apply it as a foliar spray, soil drench, or via fertigation systems depending on your crop and situation.
Application rates vary by crop type:
- Flowers & vegetables: 10g per 10L water, covering about 10m²
- Fruit trees: 35g per 10L water, applied to root zone
- Roses, shrubs, ornamentals: 25g per 10L water per bush
- Lawns (foliar): 5g per 5L water over 10m²
- Lawns (soil drench): 25g per 5L water over 10m²
Apply at the start of the growing season (spring to autumn) to ensure iron availability during early plant growth stages. Timing depends on local climate and conditions.
Yes, unlike Iron Sulphate, Iron Chelate is compatible with most fertilisers, making it versatile for combined applications. However, always do a jar test first to check compatibility.
Iron Chelate can be sprayed as a foliar treatment, applied to the soil at the root zone, or injected via fertigation or pressure injector systems for efficient uptake.

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!
